CAWCR Wave Hindcast - Aggregated Collection
Ocean wave hindcast, ongoing and updated monthly from 1979 to present. The 1979-2010 data was generated using the WaveWatch III v4.08 wave model forced with NCEP CFSR hourly winds and daily sea ice (see http://doi.org/10.4225/08/523168703DCC5). January 2011 - May 2013 was generated using the WaveWat...

Summary: | Ocean wave hindcast, ongoing and updated monthly from 1979 to present. The 1979-2010 data was generated using the WaveWatch III v4.08 wave model forced with NCEP CFSR hourly winds and daily sea ice (see http://doi.org/10.4225/08/523168703DCC5). January 2011 - May 2013 was generated using the WaveWatch III v4.08 wave model forced with NCEP CFSv2 hourly winds and daily sea ice (see http://doi.org/10.4225/08/52817E2858340). June 2013 onward was generated using the WaveWatch III v4.18 wave model forced with NCEP CFSv2 hourly winds and daily sea ice. The dataset contains spectral wave output at 3683 points, as well as gridded outputs on a global 0.4 degree (24 arcminute) grid, with nested Australian and western Pacific subgrids of 10 and 4 arcminutes resolution. For further information, see Durrant, T., Greenslade, D., Hemer, M. and Trenham, C. 2014. A Global Wave Hindcast focussed on the Central and South Pacific CAWCR Technical Report No. 070. N.B. January 1979 is a "model spin-up" month and data from this month should not be used for research purposes. Spectral wave parameters output: time; station; longitude; latitude; frequency; frequency1; frequency2 (centre, upper and lower bands); direction; Efth (sea surface wave directional variance spectral density); depth; u10m; udir (wind speed and direction 10m above surface); curr; currdir (sea water speed and direction). Gridded parameters output: longitude; latitude; time; MAPSTA (status map) U10; V10 (Eastward and Northward wind); CI (sea ice area fraction) hs (significant wave height); wl (mean wave length) t02 (mean wave period Tm02); t (mean period Tm01); tm0m1(mean period Tm0-1); CgE (wave energy flux); fp (peak wave frequency); dir (mean wave direction); spr (directional spread); dp (peak direction); hs0; hs1; hs2; hs3 (significant wave height partitions); tp0; tp1; tp2; tp3 (peak period partitions); lp0; lp1; lp2; lp3 (mean wave length partitions); th0; th1; th2; th3 (mean wave direction partitions); si0; si1; si2; si3 (directional spread partitions); ... |
