The SIMOS JIP (Joint Industry Project) provides meteorological and oceanographic extreme and normal criteria for the waters surrounding Sakhalin Island. It was first completed in 1995 and then later updated in 1998.

The top-ranked 31 storms from the period 1956-1995 were identified and hindcast using local data provided by SAKhydromet. A ten-year continuous period was also hindcast to provide operational statistics. Oceanweather's wave model was applied on a 50km and 10km nested grid. Hydrodynamic modeling was performed on a matching 10km grid.

• Comma-Delimited Grid File (70K zipped)

• GROW (Global)
• OSMOSIS (Display Software)

All hindcast products are available via the OSMOSIS display and analysis software which is provided as part of the JIP. Extremes and operational statistics can be derived from both the 50km and 10km storm/continuous hindcast grids.

Archived hindcast fields include wind speed/direction, wave height/period/direction, sea/swell partitions, surge height, vertically integrated current speed/directions and well as other standard Oceanweather wave fields.
