2012, University of Exeter, Wave Hub, Long-term Hincast Study series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_b0ea6c1c-a9cc-4fef-a0f1-48f659330100 There are numerous measured and modelled datasets available within 20 km of the Wave Hub site covering different periods between 1989 and 2012. However, there is no single dataset covering the entire period and the measured datasets cover short periods of up to a year, consequently there is limited temporal overlap of the datasets. The different instruments and models used to produce each dataset, and the natural inter-annual variability of the site, make the assessment of wave resources and extreme wave heights more difficult and less reliable. Additionally, the datasets available cover a significant area, with differing bathymetry, so a variation in wave climate is to be expected. Due to change in the site location during development there is only one measured dataset at the final Wave Hub development area and no information about the variation inside this area. The objective of this study is to reanalyse wave and wind information from large scale ocean models has been used as input for a high resolution regional SWAN model. In this way, a dataset for the Wave Hub development area with a 23-year period and more spatial information is created. 201203
