To support Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) in the San Francisco Bay (v2.1), time series of historical and 21st-century near-surface wind fields (eastward and northward wind arrays) were simulated throughout the Bay.
While global climate models (GCMs) provide useful projections of near-surface wind vectors into the 21st century, resolution is not sufficient enough for use in regional wave modeling projects, such as CoSMoS. Short-duration high wind speeds, on the order of hours, are of key importance in wave and subsequent coastal flood modeling. Here we present temporally-downscaled wind data for historical (1975-2004) and projected (2010-2100) time periods, developed using a method similar to constructed analogues (CA), suitable for use in local wave models.
These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public.
This work is one supporting part of ongoing modeling efforts for California and the western United States.

Attribute values are time-series projections of near-surface wind in historical periods (1975-2004) and the 21st century (2010-2100). Future projections include future climatic changes in accordance with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Earth System Model (ESM2M) for Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5, and therefore cannot be cross-checked with observations, because observations do not exist. Historical comparisons have been made and are outlined in O'Neill and others (2017).
Data have undergone QA/QC and fall within expected/reasonable ranges.
Data set is considered complete. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
Data are concurrent with specified originating gridded data locations.
