Brief description
This collection contains processed global wave height extreme climates from an ensemble of eight global wave models. The methodology is outlined in O’Grady, J.G., Hemer, M.A., McInnes, K.L. et al. Projected incremental changes to extreme wind-driven wave heights for the twenty-first century. Sci Rep 11, 8826 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87358-w. In total there are three files, one file summarising the extreme value distribution (EVD) and two more files on how the EVD will change for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 greenhouse gas forcing, both providing a low end (5th percentile), mid (50th) and high end (95th) estimate from the eight global model ensemble.Lineage: The data was produced using an R script which is available internally within CSIRO and is based on the CSIRO-contributed COWCLIP wave model data (published elsewhere and additional CSIRO-held datasets).
