Two parametric wind models were used to simulate the hurricane wave distribution in the so-called third-generation wave models. Several hurricane conditions in the Gulf of Mexico and in front of the Florida peninsula were used for testing and adjusting the wind models. Information usually available in the meteorological offices, such as hurricane central pressure, maximum wind radio, and the geographic positions, are the only input data needed to create a wind profile with these parametric models. Good results were achieved between the measured wave height and those simulated by the wave model. The out comes of this study show the usefulness of these tools to carry out wave forecasting and hind casting during hurricane conditions in the region. This information is valuable for governmental entities in order to make the appropriate decisions in the eventuality of the presence of these weather phenomena, which could be more frequent and in tense in the future.Downloads
