Arctic Ocean Wave Hindcast

Sea Ice Sea State

'''Short description:'''

The Arctic Ocean Wave Hindcast system uses the WAM model at 3 km resolution forced with surface winds and boundary wave spectra from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) ERA5 reanalysis together with ice from the ARC MFC reanalysis (Sea Ice concentration and thickness). Additionally, in the North Atlantic area, surface winds are used from a 2.5km atmospheric hindcast system. From the output variables the most commonly used are significant wave height, peak period and mean direction.
