Storm tracks based on wave heights from LOPS WAVEWATCH III hindcast and ERA5 reanalysis, years 1991-2024. SEANOE. https://doi.org/10.17882/105148 These storm tracks were obtained from tracking the maxima of significant wave heights. The method was adapted from storm tracking methods that typically use sea level pressure. This database was generated as part of the ESA Seastate Climate Change Initiative project. The underlying model data are the ERA5 reanalysis (Hersbach et al. 2020, doi: 10.1002/qj.3803 ) and the GLOB-30M_LOPS_2025 hindcast (Accensi, 2024 doi: 10.12770/87209a81-2c27-452b-86ae-b9c2cc4d43a9) Ardhuin Fabrice Laboratoire d’Océanographie Physique et Spatiale (LOPS), Univ.
