CASMOS
is the definitive design metocean study for the Caspian
Sea. This JIP (Joint Industry Project) applied Oceanweather's
3rd generation wave model and 3-D hydrodynamical model
to produce a wind, wave, current, and surge climatology
on a 10 km grid.
CASMOS
included detailed modeling of 100 top storms for deriving
extreme critera and a 10-year continuous hindcast
period for normal and operational statistics.
Wind fields used to drive the CASMOS models were derived
through kinematic reanalysis which utilized local
wind measurements in the Caspian Sea.
