    "descript": "Modeled wave time series from a downscaled wave data base (DWDB) are presented for the period 1979 to 2014, for locations from the U.S. Canada border to the southern boundary of Norton Sound along the approximate 5 and 10 m isobaths. The model boundary conditions were determined from wave time-series computed with a global WAVEWATCHIII (WWIII) model (Erikson and others, 2024) and wind conditions, forced with models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) historical period. Wave data are provided for four CMIP6 models (see Process Description for details) from the HighResMIP project. Outputs include three-hourly nearshore significant wave heights (Hs), mean wave periods (Tm01) and mean wave directions (Dm) for 8485 (5 m isobath) and 8232 (10 m isobath) locations. Data are available as netCDF files and are packaged for the Beaufort Sea region from the U.S. Canada border to Nuwuk (Point Barrow), for the Chukchi Sea region from Nuwuk to Kotzebue Sound and from Kotzebue Sound to the Bering Strait, and from the Bering Strait to Norton Sound. The methods used to create this dataset are described in detail in Engelstad and others, 2024.",
