Brief description
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.

Lineage
The Wave model is forced with surface wind and sea-ice concentration fields taken from the designated forcing General Circulation Model.Model 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).
Model forcing for CMIP5 forced wave simulations was taken directly from the GCM (3-hourly surface winds, and linearly interpolated monthly sea-ice concentration fields).
