Summary
Hourly time-series of waves at the 20m, 50m, and 100m isobaths, along all U.S. open coasts for the historical (1979-2014) and projected (2020-2050) period: Those data (estimates of historical and long-term future conditions) were developed by running the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) WaveWatch3 wave model forced with winds and sea ice extents from four separate high-resolution global climate models (GCMs) of the 6th generation intercomparison project (CMIP6).

Ocean wave time-series data along the U.S. West Coast and surrounding Hawai’i simulated with a global-scale numerical wave model under the influence of CMIP6 wind and sea ice fields (ver. 2.0, October 2024)
This dataset presents historical (1979-2014) and projected (2020-2050) hourly time-series of wave heights, wave periods, incident wave directions, and directional spreading at distinct points along the U.S. West Coast and surrounding Hawai’i. The time-series were developed by running the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) WAVEWATCHIII model. Wind and sea-ice fields from seven different Global Climate or General Circulation Models from the CMIP6 High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project were used to simulate waves across the globe at a 0.5-degree resolution (approximately 50 km, depending on latitude) and further downscaled to 10- (approximately 18 km) and 4-arc-minute (approximately 7 km) model grids. Point model output data extracted from NOAA’s 4 arc-minute grid for the U.S. West Coast and Hawai’i (wc_4m) are provided herein.

Ocean wave time-series data along the Alaska coast simulated with a global-scale numerical wave model under the influence of CMIP6 wind and sea ice fields (ver. 2.0, October 2024)
This dataset presents historical (1979-2014) and projected (2020-2050) hourly time-series of wave heights, wave periods, incident wave directions and directional spreading at distinct points along the open coast of Alaska. The time-series were developed by running the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) WAVEWATCHIII model. Wind and sea ice fields from seven different Global Climate or General Circulation Models from the CMIP6 High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project were used to simulate waves across the globe at a 0.5-degree resolution (approximately 50 kms, depending on latitude) and further downscaled to 10- (approximately 18 kilometer) and 4-arc-minute (approximately 7 kilometer) model grids.

Revision History
First release: 2022
Revised: October 2024 (ver. 2.0)
Changes in Version 2.0
"We would like to add data for historical CMIP6 wind and sea ice fields to the existing data tabs (e.g. add 'WavePnts_MODEL_wc_4m_His.nc files for each model under the 'Ocean wave time-series data along the U.S. West Coast and surrounding Hawai’i simulated with a global-scale numerical wave model under the influence of CMIP6 wind and sea ice fields' tab)
The file format is the same as for the already published data. The methods did not change. We will have to adjust/expand the metadata."
