Description This dataset contains archived 3-hourly outputs from wave climate simulations at 0.5-degree global grid resolution carried out using an Irregular-Regular-Irregular (IRI) three-grid system to model the polar regions, and implemented in WaveWatch III (v6.07).
The model configuration is outlined in manuscripts:
- Meucci A., Young I. R., Hemer M., Trenham C., and Watterson I. 2023. 140 Years of Global Ocean Wind-wave Climate Derived from CMIP6 ACCESS-CM2 and EC-Earth3 GCMs. Global Trends, Regional Changes, and Future Projections. Journal of Climate, 1-56. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-21-0929.1
- Meucci A., Young I.R., Trenham C. and Hemer M., (in prep). CMIP6-derived wave climate observation-based model ensemble.

Wave model forcing consisted of surface wind and sea-ice concentration fields from 6 CMIP6 models. The model is run with the latest observation-based source term parametrization ST6, using wind-drag coefficient "CDFAC" parameter value of 1.

Archived variables, in monthly netCDF files for all simulations, include wind speed, significant wave height, second order mean wave period, peak frequency, mean and peak wave direction, wave energy, and 3 partitions of significant wave height.

In phase 2, each model is simulated in three 30-year time slices: historical (1985-2014), SSP1-2.6 (2071-2100) and SSP5-8.5 (2071-2100).
In total, this dataset contains over 500 simulated model years of data.

Gridded field data are provided in this collection. Directional spectra output points are available on request.
