Projected incremental changes to extreme wind-driven wave heights for the twenty-first century

This collection contains processed global wave height extreme climates from an ensemble of eight global wave models. The methodology is outlined in O’Grady, J.G., Hemer, M.A., McInnes, K.L. et al. Projected incremental changes to extreme wind-driven wave heights for the twenty-first century. Sci Rep 11, 8826 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87358-w. In total there are three files, one file summarising the extreme value distribution (EVD) and two more files on how the EVD will change for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 greenhouse gas forcing, both providing a low end (5th percentile), mid (50th) and high end (95th) estimate from the eight global model ensemble.
