摘要：there are numerous global ocean wave reanalysis and hindcast products currently being distributed and used across diferent scientifc felds . However, there is not a consistent dataset that can sample across all existing products based on a standardized framework. Here, we present and describe the frst coordinated multi-product ensemble of present-day global wave felds available to date . This dataset, produced through the Coordinated Ocean Wave Climate Project (COWCLIP) phase 2, includes general and extreme statistics of signifcant wave height (Hs), mean wave period ( Tm) and mean wave direction (θm) computed across 1980–2014, at diferent frequency resolutions (monthly, seasonally, and annually) . This coordinated global ensemble has been derived from fourteen state-of-the-science global wave products obtained from diferent atmospheric reanalysis forcing and downscaling methods . This data set has been processed, under a specifc framework for consistency and quality, following standard Data Reference Syntax, Directory Structures and Metadata specifcations . This new comprehensive dataset provides support to future broad-scale analysis of historical wave climatology and variability as well as coastal risk and vulnerability assessments across ofshore and coastal engineering applications .
