coastDat-3 WAM wave hindcast for the period 1948 - 2021 covering the North and Baltic Sea with COSMO-CLM-NCEP1 atmospheric forcing

This is a wave hindcast for the period 1948 - 2021 covering the North and Baltic Sea. 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. Atmospheric forcing was obtained from the coastDat3 COSMO-CLM-NCEP1 regional atmospheric hindcast. Lateral boundary conditions were obtained from corresponding coarse grid hindcast covering most of the Northeast Atlantic driven by the same atmospheric forcing.

cf:Wind waves are waves on the ocean surface. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name 'upward_air_velocity'.) 'to_direction' is used in the construction X_to_direction and indicates the direction towards which the velocity vector of X is headed. The direction is a bearing in the usual geographical sense, measured positive clockwise from due north. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: degree
