Past and future wave climate in the Baltic Sea produced by the SWAN model with forcing from the regional climate model RCA of the Rossby Centre

Abstract

A hindcast wave database and a wave database based on future climate scenarios for the Baltic Sea, Kattegat and Skagerrak is under development. The wind force used for the wave simulation is coming form the RCA model and the future wind from RCA is based on global climate model ECHAM4 for one emission scenario (IPCC SRES A2)
