| Abstract | Surface winds from 5 models, GFDL-ESM4, CNRM-CM6-1-HR, CMCC-CM2-SR5, HadGEM3-GC31-MM, EC-Earth3, of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) were evaluated for the generation of wave climate for the Indian ocean. Wave hind-cast is generated using the WAVEWATCHIII wave model for the period 1979-2015. The evaluation of the wind and wave parameters has been done using in-situ observations as well as reanalysis data. Performance assessments were done for various wind conditions in the Indian ocean. The study also evaluates the performance of CMIP6 model winds in representing the teleconnection of various climate modes ( SAM, ENSO and IOD) with the wave climate of the Indian Ocean. The study shows the importance of high-resolution wind fields for the accurate representation of wave characteristics. |
