Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) Beaufort Wind and Wave Reanalysis
This dataset contains 21 statistics of wind and waves calculated from hourly reanalysis data of historical surface winds and ocean surface waves for the Canadian Beaufort Sea for the period 1970-2015 (each statistic has an annual and 12 monthly values). These data can be used for characterization of marine surface wind and wave climate conditions, trends and variability for Canadian Arctic waters, for use of coastal and offshore operations/risk management (e.g., shipping). The hourly wind and waves data may be obtained upon request from the Meteorological Service of Canada's Climate Services.
