Supplementary material for: "On the selection of time-varying scenarios of wind and ocean waves: methodologies and applications in the North Tyrrhenian Sea"

All the routines to perform the clustering of the hindcast data have been developed in Matlab.<br> The code Case_study.m allows to reproduce the examples outlined in chapter 3.2, Figs. 15-16 of the manuscript: "On the selection of time-varying scenarios of wind and ocean waves: methodologies and applications in the North Tyrrhenian Sea" Submitted to "Ocean Modelling" - Elsevier, and currently is available online. The code needs to be fed with the data stored into the "hind_param.mat" and "clusters.mat" files, attached to this repo.<br> Please note that the wave parameters stored into "hind_param.mat" cannot be employed for commercial purposes.<br> In case they are meant to be used for research, reference has to be made to: - Mentaschi, L., Besio, G., Cassola, F., &amp; Mazzino, A.

Finally, results of the sensitivity analysis of CE and W2 with respect to varying number of clusters are stored into the<br> zip files "CE.zip" and "W2.zip", respectively (Figs. from 2 to 8 of the submitted manuscript).<br> Each *dat file refers to a particular set of the data inital conditions (see manuscript), and it is labeled as follows:<br> "*_[FIRST YEAR OF TRAINING]_[LAST YEAR OF TRAINING]_[FIRST YEAR OF VALIDATION]_[LAST YEAR OF VALIDATION]_<br> [TOTAL NUMBER OF TIME STEPS]_[TIME SHIFT BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE SCENARIOS]_*_[INITIAL TIME RESOLUTION]_*_<br> [VARIABLES EMPLOYED].dat" For further information, please contact Giulia Cremonini at:<br> [e-mail]
