Coastal extreme sea levels in the Caribbean Sea induced by tropical cyclones

This dataset contains the return levels of coastal significant wave height and sea surface elevation along the Caribbean coastlines corresponding to the periods of 10, 50, 100, 200 and 500 years. The return periods have been computed fitting a Generalised Pareto Distribution to a set of hydrodynamic-wave coupled ocean simulations forced with 1000 synthetic tropical cyclones. See the paper Martin et al (under review) for details.

The dataset is provided in a .mat file, generated using Matlab. The file contains a Matlab table (with header names) indicating latitude, longitude and the return levels described above, named as Hs (significant wave height) and SSE (sea surface elevation).
