Abstract

This dataset consists of outputs from a wave model for the North-West European Shelf. It contains simulation periods conducted over monthly time spans. These include: historic reanalysis periods: January 2017; June 2018 and climate projection periods: June 1992; January 1996; January 2050; June 2053; January 2090; June 2093. The outputs contain wave parameters integrated from the two-dimensional (frequency, direction) wave spectrum and describe wave height, period and directional characteristics for both the overall sea-state and wind-sea and swell components. The data are delivered on a regular grid at approximately 1.5km resolution, at an hourly frequency. The wave model is WAVEWATCH III and the North-West Shelf configuration is based on a rotated 1.5 km grid used for NORTHWESTSHELF_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHY_004_013. The model is forced by lateral boundary conditions from a consistent Global wave model. The reanalysis atmospheric forcing is given by the ECMWF ERA-5 Numerical Weather Prediction reanalysis. Future projections are forced by HadGEM3-GC3.05 PPE derived surface forcing and ocean lateral boundaries (Tinker et. al 2023). The outputs were generated under the ECOWind ACCELERATE project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under reference NE/X008886/1.
