Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) 50 North Atlantic Wave Hindcast

This dataset contains 21 statistics of wind and waves calculated from hourly reanalysis data of historical surface winds and ocean surface waves for the Canadian East Coast for the period 1954-2018 (each statistic has an annual, 4 seasonal, and 12 monthly values). These data can be used for characterization of marine surface wind and wave climate conditions, trends and variability for Canadian waters (East Coast), and for use of coastal and offshore operations/risk management (e.g., oil platforms, shipping). The hourly wind and wave’s data may be obtained upon request from the Meteorological Service of Canada's Climate Services.

本数据集基于加拿大大东海岸1954—2018年期间的历史地表风与海洋表面浪逐小时再分析数据（reanalysis data），计算得到21项风浪统计参数；每项统计参数均包含年值、4个季节值以及12个月度值。本数据集可用于表征加拿大大东海岸海域的海洋地表风与海浪气候状况、变化趋势及变异性，亦可应用于近岸与离岸作业及风险管理场景（例如石油平台运维、船舶航运）。上述逐小时风浪原始数据可应需求向加拿大气象服务局（Meteorological Service of Canada）气候服务部门申请获取。
