The dataset contains statistics for significant wave height (H_s), mean wave period (T_m), peak wave period (T_p) and mean wave direction (θ_m) for Hindcast (1979-2005) and a multi-model ensemble of 17 EURO-CORDEX GCM-RCMs projections for the following periods: Baseline (1979-2005), Mid-century (2034-2060) for RCP 8.5, and End-of-century (2074-2100) for RCP 8.5.

The following statistics are included providing seasonal and monthly means:

Significant wave height:
For hindcast, raw GCM-RCMs and bias-adjusted GCM-RCMs

• Average significant wave height
• 10, 50, 90, 95 and 99th
• Maximum significant wave height
• Average H_s when H_s>90 and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
• Number of sea states when H_s>90 and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
• Percentage of sea states when H_s>90 and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
• Average H_s when H_s>1.25, 2.5 and 4 m
• Number of sea states when H_s>1.25, 2.5 and 4 m
• Percentage of sea states when H_s>1.25, 2.5 and 4 m
• Number of days with at least two consecutive days when daily-max H_s>90th and 95th percentiles of the hindcast
