Multimodel Ensemble Projections of Wave Climate in the Western North Pacific Using CMIP6 Marine Surface Winds

For decades, the western North Pacific (WNP) has been commonly indicated as a region with high vulnerability to oceanic and atmospheric hazards. This phenomenon can be observed through general circulation model (GCM) output from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). The CMIP consists of collection ensemble data well marine surface winds for projection wave climate. Wave climate projections based on dataset are necessary ocean studies, forecasts, coastal development over WNP region. Numerous studies earlier phases abundant, but using CMIP6 recent is still limited. Thus, in this study, WAVEWATCH III conducted investigate how characteristics will have changed 2050 2100 compared those 2000 forcings winds. runs 0.5° × spatial resolution spherical coordinates 10-min time step. A total eight GCMs used modelled 3 h 2100. simulated average validated ERA5 Reanalysis showing good consistency. show that significant decreases height, clockwise shift direction, mean period becomes shorter relative 2000.
