GOMOS is Oceanweather's new comprehensive metocean study for the Gulf of Mexico. It is intended as a follow-on to the Gulf JIP's (Joint Industry Projects) GUMSHOE (Hurricane Extremes), WINX (Winter Storm Extremes), GLOW (Operational Statistics) which have set the standard for design criteria in the Gulf.

The hindcast includes a 10-year continuous wind and wave hindcast for the period 1990-1999 (updates are planned). All tropical storm/hurricanes in the period 1900-2000 (302 total) and 80 extra-tropical storms (winter events/northerns) have been run through the wave and current/surge models.

Oceanweather's 3rd generation wave model adapted to a 1/8th degree grid is used for all wave hindcasting. The 10-year continuous period includes detailed reanalysis of all tropical systems as well as kinematic analysis of significant storm events.

• Grid PDF File (2.3 MB)
• Comma-Delimited Grid File (45K, zipped)

• GROW (Global)
• OSMOSIS (Display Software)

• Time series of wind, waves parameters
• Time series of surge height and integrated current for storm events
  
• Fatigue and operability data expressed in monthly and annual frequency of occurrence tables of wind speed by wind direction; wave height by wave period and direction and exceedance/non-exceedance duration statistics for wind speed and wave height.
• Wave spectra at most coastal points
  

GOMOS results are licensed for specified offshore blocks, or coastal areas. Results are available on a 1/8th degree grid throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Blocks can be purchased for the Continuous, Tropical, or Extra-Tropical results separately or as a bundled product.
