Description:

Abstract:

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.

Purpose:

These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public.

Supplemental_Information:

This work is one supporting part of ongoing modeling efforts for California and the western United States.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

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).

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data have undergone QA/QC and fall within expected/reasonable ranges.

Completeness_Report:

Data set is considered complete. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
