An accurate simulation of the wave regimes of the Black Sea is of most importance in different areas. The most efficient methodology to obtain wind and wave information for large areas is through the use of physical models. In global models however. the spatial resolution of the forecasting fields is low and the wind is underestimated, this problem is specially important in enclosed or semi enclosed seas as the Baltic, Adriatic or the Black Sea. Also, the use of buoy data only allows a local assessment of the quality of the simulations. The availability of satellite data in the region were the simulations were performed makes possible a broader validation as several satellites regularly observe the Black Sea. The main purpose of the present work is the evaluation of the high resolution wind and wave simulation using satellite information. The SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) model was implemented for the Black Sea region, forced by the 10 meter wind field simulated by the WRF. The ERA-INTERIM reanalysis were used to drive the WRF.
