Environment Canada Davis Strait Baffin Bay (DSBB) Wind and Wave Reanalysis

This dataset contains 21 statistics (including extreme indices) of wind and waves calculated from hourly reanalysis data of historical surface winds and ocean surface waves for the Davis Strait Baffin Bay waters for the period 1979-2018 (each statistic has an annual and 12 monthly values). These data can be used for the characterization of marine surface wind and wave climate conditions, trends and variability for the Davis Strait Baffin Bay waters, for use of coastal and offshore operations/risk management (e.g., shipping). These data can be used for characterization of marine surface wind and wave climate conditions, trends and variability for the Davis Strait Baffin Bay 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.
