Abstract
In ISOPE’2019, the first intercomparison of wave reanalysis products (ERA5 and CFSR-W) was presented (Stefanakos, 2019). In the present work, this intercomparison is further extended by including global wave reanalysis product WAVERYS, which comes from Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) and it is based on the third-generation wave MFWAM model. WAVERYS takes into account oceanic currents (GLORYS12) and assimilates wave height from altimetry missions and wave spectra from Sentinel 1. In the present analysis, several statistical features are assessed, such as seasonal variability, probability structure, several error metrics, as well as extreme-value statistics and trends.
