These are the wind wave transient scenarios for the North Sea and Baltic Sea for the period 1961-2006 (historical) and 2006-2100 (future). Atmospheric forcing originates from CMIP5 CORDEX EUR-11 regionalized scenarios (https://www.wdc-climate.de/ui/project?acronym=CORDEX_DDS-CMIP5_native-grid). The simulation has been performed with the spectral wave model WAM Version 4.6.2. The model domain covers the area from approx 49.2° N to 66.6° N and 9.8° W to 31.6° E, with a spatial resolution of 0.044 degree latitude x 0.044 degree longitude (approx. 5 by 5 km) on a rotated grid with the coordinates of the rotated north pole 140°W E and 32° N. Integrated parameter derived from 2D spectra are available every hour. Lateral boundary conditions were obtained from corresponding coarse grid simulation covering most of the Northeast Atlantic driven by the same atmospheric forcing.
