Wind Waves in the Mediterranean Sea: An ERA5 Reanalysis Wind-Based Climatology
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 A climatology of the wind waves in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. The climate patterns, their spatio-temporal variability and change are based on a 40-year (1980–2019) wave hindcast, obtained by combining the ERA5 reanalysis wind forcing with the ...
