The directory contains archived output from wave climate simulations carried out using a 1 degree global implementation of WaveWatch III (v3.14). The model is outlined in manuscripts:\nHemer, Katzfey and Trenham, 2013. Global dynamical projections of surface ocean wave climate for a future high greenhouse gas emission scenario. Ocean Modelling. DOI:10.1016/j.ocemod.2012.09.008\n\nWave model forcing consisted of surface wind and sea-ice concentration fields. \n\nArchived variables, in monthly NetCDF files for all simulations, include significant wave height, mean wave period (Tm01), and mean wave direction. \n\nIn total, this directory contains over 1050 model simulation years of data. \n\nDirectory Structure:\n\nGlobal_wave_projections\n\tHistorical (spans 1980-2005)\n\t\t - CFSR (This is a hindcast run, forced with NCEP CFSR, with same model configuration as GCM forced runs)\n\t\t - CMIP3 (ECHAM5, Mk3.5 both unadjusted and bias adjusted to CFSR), \n\t\t - CMIP5 (ACCESS1.0, CNRM-CM3, HadGEM2, INMCM4, BCC-CSM1.1, MIROC5, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3)\n\tMid-Century (spans 2026-2045)\t\n\t\t - CMIP5\n\t\t - RCP4.5 (ACCESS1.0, CNRM-CM3, HadGEM2, INMCM4, BCC-CSM1.1, MIROC5, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3)\n\t\t - RCP8.5 (ACCESS1.0, CNRM-CM3, HadGEM2, INMCM4, BCC-CSM1.1, MIROC5, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3)\n\tEnd-of-Century (spans 2080-2099)\n\t\t - CMIP3 \n\t\t - SRESA2 (ECHAM, Mk3.5 both unadjusted and bias adjusted to CFSR), \n\t\t - CMIP5\n\t\t - RCP4.5 (ACCESS1.0, CNRM-CM3, HadGEM2, INMCM4, BCC-CSM1.1, MIROC5, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3)\n\t\t - RCP8.5 (ACCESS1.0, CNRM-CM3, HadGEM2, INMCM4, BCC-CSM1.1, MIROC5, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3)\nLineage: The Wave model is forced with surface wind and sea-ice concentration fields taken from the designated forcing General Circulation Model. \n\nModel forcing for CMIP3 forced wave simulations was taken from CCAM atmospheric model simulations which have dynamically downscaled the given GCM (6-hourly surface wind fields, and linearly interpolated monthly sea-ice fields). \n\nModel forcing for CMIP5 forced wave ...
