Abstract
To estimate uncertainties in wave forecast and hindcasts, computations have been carried out for a location in the Mediterranean Sea using t hree different analyses of one historic wind field. These computations involve a systematic sensitivity analysis and estimated wind field er rors. This technique enables a wave modeler to estimate such uncertain ties in other forecasts and hindcasts if only one wind analysis is ava ilable.
