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: Hemer, 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 Wave model forcing consisted of surface wind and sea-ice concentration fields. Archived variables, in monthly NetCDF files for all simulations, include significant wave height, mean wave period (Tm01), and mean wave direction. In total, this directory contains over 1050 model simulation years of data.
