MeteOcean wave climate and extremes statistics in the Mediterranean Sea: hindcast and multi-model ensemble of GCM-RCMs projections by 2100

The dataset contains statistics for significant wave height (Hs), mean wave period (Tm), peak wave period (Tp) and mean wave direction (θm) for Hindcast (1979-2005) and a multi-model ensemble of 17 EURO-CORDEX GCM-RCMs projections for the following periods: Baseline (1979-2005), Mid-century (2034-2060) for RCP 8.5, and End-of-century (2074-2100) for RCP 8.5.
The following statistics are included providing seasonal and monthly means:
Significant wave height: For hindcast, raw GCM-RCMs and bias-adjusted GCM-RCMs
- Average significant wave height
- 10, 50, 90, 95 and 99th
- Maximum significant wave height
- Average Hs when Hs>90 and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
- Number of sea states when Hs>90 and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
- Percentage of sea states when Hs>90 and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
- Average Hs when Hs>1.25, 2.5 and 4 m
- Number of sea states when Hs>1.25, 2.5 and 4 m
- Percentage of sea states when Hs>1.25, 2.5 and 4 m
- Number of days with at least two consecutive days when daily-max Hs>90th and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
- Percentage of days with at least two consecutive days when daily-max Hs>90th and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
Mean wave period: For hindcast and raw GCM-RCMs
- Average mean wave period
- 10, 50, 90, 95 and 99th percentiles
