Nearshore wave time-series: ERA5 hindcast period 1979-2023 - U.S. Canada border to Bering Strait (ver. 2.0, November 2024)
Modeled wave time series data from a downscaled wave database (DWDB)are presented for the hindcast period of 1979 to 2023 from the U.S. Canada border to Norton Sound close to the 5 and 10 m isobaths. Outputs include three-hourly nearshore significant wave heights (Hs), mean wave periods (Tm) and mean wave directions (Dm) for 8485 (5 m isobath) and 8232 (10 m isobath) locations. Data are available as netCDF files and are packaged for the Beaufort Sea region from the U.S. Canada border to Nuwuk (Point Barrow), for the Chukchi Sea region from Nuwuk to Kotzebue Sound and from Kotzebue Sound to the Bering Strait, and from the Bering Strait to the southern boundary of Norton Sound. The methods used to create this dataset are described in detail in Engelstad and others, 2024
