Supplementary material for: "On the selection of time-varying scenarios of wind and ocean waves: methodologies and applications in the North Tyrrhenian Sea"

All the routines to perform the clustering of the hindcast data have been developed in Matlab.
The code Case_study.m allows to reproduce the examples outlined in chapter 3.2, Figs. 15-16 of the manuscript:

"On the selection of time-varying scenarios of wind and ocean waves: methodologies and applications in the North Tyrrhenian Sea"

Submitted to "Ocean Modelling" - Elsevier, and currently is available online.

The code needs to be fed with the data stored into the "hind_param.mat" and "clusters.mat" files, attached to this repo.
Please note that the wave parameters stored into "hind_param.mat" cannot be employed for commercial purposes.
In case they are meant to be used for research, reference has to be made to:

For further inquires about the hindcast data, please contact meteocean@dicca.unige.it.

Finally, results of the sensitivity analysis of CE and W2 with respect to varying number of clusters are stored into the
zip files "CE.zip" and "W2.zip", respectively (Figs. from 2 to 8 of the submitted manuscript).
Each *dat file refers to a particular set of the data inital conditions (see manuscript), and it is labeled as follows:
"*_[FIRST YEAR OF TRAINING]_[LAST YEAR OF TRAINING]_[FIRST YEAR OF VALIDATION]_[LAST YEAR OF VALIDATION]_
   [TOTAL NUMBER OF TIME STEPS]_[TIME SHIFT BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE SCENARIOS]_*_[INITIAL TIME RESOLUTION]_*_
   [VARIABLES EMPLOYED].dat"
