The third generation WAM4 wave model was applied to the Baltic Sea. The computed significant wave height was compared with wave measurements for the periods October-November 1997 and February-May 1998. The calculations were conducted with wind fields obtained from the numerical weather prediction system at present in use as a quasi-operational system at ICM. Statistical analysis indicates good agreement between the modelled and measured significant wave height. Finally, a visualisation of wave fields is presented in the form in which it could be published in a daily meteorological forecast.
