Prediction of significant wave height (Swh) and Wind stress (WS) were carried out spatially and temporally for a period of nine years (2015-2023) in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) region using a combination of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. In the present work, WAM-4C model is performed to generate spatially gridded swh data for nine years (2015-23). Six hourly NCEP blended winds have been applied to force the model. The wind stress, is estimated from wind speed using a drag coefficient.
