RisesAM-OceanWaves: An hourly simulation of sea surface waves for historic and future climate ... : This dataset covers a regional model of the North East Atlantic run for a historic reanalysis period (1979-2015) forced by ECMWF Re-Analysis winds (ERA-Interim, https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/reanalysis-datasets/era-interim). The data are produced with a spectral wave model; WaveWatchIII (Tolman, 1997) on a regular lat/lon grid with resolution around 1/12th degree. The netcdf data include high frequency (hourly) wave data of bulk parameters representing significant wave height, mean wave direction, and energy period. Partitioned wave data are also included for significant wave height, peak period, and direction. These data are presented in 3 partitions, with a fraction of wind sea specified for each. The data set is produced to benchmark the model before investigating future wave conditions of Europe under climate change. The simulations were run using funding from the European Union’s Seventh Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration under Grant Agreement No: ...
