coastDat WAM CMIP5 wave transient scenarios for the North and Baltic Sea for the period 1961-2100 with REMO MPI-ESM and HadGEM2 forcing

These are the wind wave transient scenarios for the North Sea and Baltic Sea for the period 1961-2006 (historical) and 2006-2100 (future). Atmospheric forcing originates from CMIP5 CORDEX EUR-11 regionalized scenarios ( https://www.wdc-climate.de/ui/project?acronym=CORDEX_DDS-CMIP5_native-grid ). The simulation has been performed with the spectral wave model WAM Version 4.6.2. The model domain covers the area from approx 49.2° N to 66.6° N and 9.8° W to 31.6° E, with a spatial resolution of 0.044 degree latitude x 0.044 degree longitude (approx. 5 by 5 km) on a rotated grid with the coordinates of the rotated north pole 140°W E and 32° N. Integrated parameter derived from 2D spectra are available every hour. Lateral boundary conditions were obtained from corresponding coarse grid simulation covering most of the Northeast Atlantic driven by the same atmospheric forcing.

grid_latitude
Descriptor

Latitude is positive northward; its units of degree_north (or equivalent) indicate this explicitly. In a latitude-longitude system defined with respect to a rotated North Pole, the standard name of grid_latitude should be used instead of latitude. Grid latitude is positive in the grid-northward direction, but its units should be plain degree. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: degrees

Longitude is positive eastward; its units of degree_east (or equivalent) indicate this explicitly.
