Figure 1

Flow diagram for wind velocity and significant wave height simulations. Non-simulated data, used for model identification and simulation, are included in solid-line rectangles. The simulated data are denoted by dotted-line rectangles; rectangles with rounded corners represent models. Dataset descriptions are provided in Table 1.

Datasets used for identification, validation and simulation of local wind velocity and significant wave height Hs

Data set Used…Description
UMPL-ICM winds… to run the WAM model. As an input for the identification of wind scaling models. Half of data used for the verification.9 NM, 3 h, interpolated into 1 NM, 1 h grid, 1998–2001, 28 storms
20CRv2 winds… as an input for the identification and validation of wind scaling models.120 NM, 3 h, means interpolated into 1NM 1 h grid, 1871–2008
Simulated winds… for Hs simulation. Generated using scaling models with 20CRv2 data as an input.1 NM, 1 h, 1871–2008
WAM Hs… to identify Hs simulation models. Half of data used for verification. Generated using a locally nested WAM model and UMPL-ICM winds.1 NM, 3 h, 1998–2001, 28 storms
Simulated Hs… to generate the number of hours with Hs exceeding a given threshold. Simulated using previously identified Hs models and simulated winds.1 NM, 1 h, 1871–2008
