North Sea Wave Database (NSWD) 1998-2004

North Sea Wave Database (NSWD)
The dataset contains each year of spectral metocean condition for Significant Wave Height (HSIGN) and wave energy period (TMM10), in meters and seconds.
Each variable has a year timestap which the data corresponds too i.e 1980. The latitudes and longitudes of the dataset have resolution of 0.025 degrees at each direction. Latitude starting coordinate is 50 degrees and Longitude 0.

For more information on the process that developed the dataset, the methodogies followed, calibration, valdiation and sensitivity analysis,

The dataset was produced by Dr George Lavidas during the WAVe Resource for Electrical Production (WAVREP, which received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research & innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 787344.

The dataset is accompanied by two publication that (i) present the calibration-validation and production (ii) analysis of the dataset.
