Storm tracks based on wave heights from LOPS WAVEWATCH III hindcast and ERA5 reanalysis, years 1991-2024

These storm tracks were obtained from tracking the maxima of significant wave heights. The method was adapted from storm tracking methods that typically use sea level pressure.

Disciplines

Physical oceanography

Keywords

storms, wave height, swell, tracks
