Description

Computed from the WW3 Model, the last Four Decades Wave Hindcast is available on the Senegalese Coast through this present Dataset. Covering the period 1980 to 2021, this high resolution hindcast, both spatial (0.05x0.05) and temporal (1 h) provided all the wave parameters such as: the significant wave heights, the mean wave periods, the wave directions and the peak wave periods (to compute from wave frequencies) with an hourly interval.

More details on this data (e.g., model implementation and validation) can be obtained in: SAMOU, M.S.;  BERTIN, X.; SAKHO, I.; LAZAR, A.; SADIO, M.; DIOUF, M.B. Wave  Climate Variability along the  Coastlines of Senegal over the Last Four Decades. Journal Atmosphere 2023].
