Early in 1979, a group of wave researchers proposed a wave model
inter comparison study to clarify the interrelations existing among
the various wave models which have been developed in past years for
real-time wave forecasting, wave statistics compilations, or
hindcast case studies. The idea was immediately welcomed by the
wave modeling community, and, finally, nine wave modeling groups
from the United States, Japan, and Europe participated in the
exercise. The principal results of this work are presented here
jointly by the Sea Wave Modeling Project (swAMP) Group (the members
of which are listed in Appendix A). Descriptions of the models used
in the study are given in Part II of this volume. A more complete
documentation of the entire set of numerical experiments is given
in Part 2 of the Sea Wave Modeling Project (SWAMP group, 1982). The
main purpose of the intercomparison study was to test our present
understanding of the physics of . wind-generated surface waves from
the viewpoint of wave modeling. Specifically, we wished to clarify
the basic interdependence between understanding the physics of
surface waves, repre senting the physics numerically, and
predicting quantitatively the detailed space-time evolution of a
two-dimensional surface wave spectrum for a given wind field. It
was not our intent to carry out a model competition. In this sense
there were no winners or losers: all models could claim specific
strong points, and all displayed weaknesses in some areas.
