The objective of the RASMOS JIP (Joint Industry Project) is to provide a database of meteorological and oceanographic data for the Barents, Pechora and Kara Seas in the Russian Arctic.

Oceanweather's wave and hydrodynamic models were applied on a 25 kilometer grid covering the Russian Arctic basin. An extensive storm selection from the period 1945-1993 was generated in cooperation with the Marine Forecasting Research Laboratory, Hydrometcentre of Russia in Moscow. Forty top storms were identified and carefully hindcast using Oceanweather's interactive techniques. A 10-year continuous hindcast was also developed for producing normal and operational statistics.

Extremal analysis and development of normal/operational criteria were not part of the original JIP, but are available as a post-JIP task. The standard JIP products include timeseries of winds, wave parameters, surge height and vertically integrated currents for the RASMOS storms and 10-year continuous hindcasts.
