RisesAM-OceanWaves: An hourly simulation of sea surface waves for historic and future climate ... : The climate projections for 2 possible futures (1970-2100) are forced by EC-Earth (https://ec-earth.org/). Regional models are driven by the same climate models, downscaled to 12km resolution, under EuroCordex programme (https://euro-cordex.net/). 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 investigate the future wave conditions of Europe under climate change. There are 2 different climate futures explored; RCP8.5 and RCP4.5 (regional concentration pathways). The two scenarios are driven by different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). The ...
