Brief description
This dataset contains archived 3-hourly outputs from wave climate simulations at 0.5-degree global grid resolution carried out using an Irregular-Regular-Irregular (IRI) three-grid system to model the polar regions, and implemented in WaveWatch III (v6.07). The model configuration is outlined in manuscripts:Meucci A., Young I. R., Hemer M., Trenham C., and Watterson I. 2023. 140 Years of Global Ocean Wind-wave Climate Derived from CMIP6 ACCESS-CM2 and EC-Earth3 GCMs. Global Trends, Regional Changes, and Future Projections. Journal of Climate, 1-56. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-21-0929.1
Wave model forcing consisted of surface wind and sea-ice concentration fields from two CMIP6 models. The model is run with the latest observation-based source term parametrization ST6, using two different values of the wind-drag coefficient "CDFAC" parameter: 1 and 1.08.
Archived variables, in monthly netCDF files for all simulations, include wind speed, significant wave height, second order mean wave period, peak frequency, mean and peak wave direction, wave energy, and 3 partitions of significant wave height.
In total, this dataset contains over 900 simulated model years of data.
Gridded field data are provided in this collection. Directional spectra output points are available on request.

Lineage
The wave model is forced with 3-hourly surface winds and linearly interpolated daily sea-ice concentration fields taken from the designated forcing CMIP6 General Circulation Models.Output is produced on the IRI grid as well as at point locations every 10 degrees globally and in higher resolution rings around Australia as a whole, and the SE corner (Vic-Tas).
