'''Short description:''' Near-Real-Time multi-mission global satellite-based spectral integral parameters. Only valid data are used, based on the L3 corresponding products. Included wave parameters are partition significant wave height, partition peak period and partition peak or principal direction. Those parameters are propagated in space and time at a 3-hour timestep and on a regular space grid, providing information of the swell propagation characteristics, from source to land. The ouput products corresponds to one file per month gathering all the swell systems at a global scale. This product is processed by the WAVE-TAC multi-mission SAR and CFOSAT/SWIM data processing system to serve in near-real time the main operational oceanography and climate forecasting centers in Europe and worldwide. It processes data from the following missions: SAR (Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B) and CFOSAT/SWIM. All the spectral parameter measurements are optimally interpolated using swell observations belonging to the same swell field. The spectral data processing system produces wave integral parameters by partition (partition significant wave height, partition peak period and partition peak or principal direction) and the associated standard deviation and density of propagated observations.

'''Short description:''' For the Global Ocean - The product contains hourly Level-4 sea surface wind and stress fields at 0.125 degrees horizontal spatial resolution. Scatterometer observations for Metop-B and Metop-C ASCAT and their collocated European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operational model variables are used to calculate temporally-averaged difference fields. These fields are used to correct for persistent biases in hourly ECMWF operational model fields. The product provides stress-equivalent wind and stress variables as well as their divergence and curl. The applied bias corrections, the standard deviation of the differences (for wind and stress fields) and difference of variances (for divergence and curl fields) are included in the product.

'''Short description:''' The IBI-MFC provides the ocean physical reanalysis multi year product for the Iberia-Biscay-Ireland (IBI) region starting in 01/01/1993, extended on yearly basis by using available reprocessed upstream data and regularly updated on monthly basis to cover the period up to month M-4 from present time using an interim processing system. The model system is designed, implemented and run by Mercator Ocean International, while the operational product post-processing and interim system are run by NOW Systems with the support of CESGA supercomputing centre. The IBI numerical core is based on the NEMO v3.6 ocean general circulation model, run at 1/36° horizontal resolution. Altimeter data, in situ temperature and salinity vertical profiles and satellite sea surface temperature are assimilated. The product offers 3D and 2D daily, monthly and yearly physical ocean fields, as well as hourly mean fields for surface variables.

'''DEFINITION''' The OMI_EXTREME_WAVE_NORTHWESTSHELF_swh_mean_and_anomaly_obs indicator is based on the computation of the 99th and the 1st percentiles from in situ data (observations). It is computed for the variable significant wave height (swh) measured by in situ buoys. The use of percentiles instead of annual maximum and minimum values, makes this extremes study less affected by individual data measurement errors. The percentiles are temporally averaged, and the spatial evolution is displayed, jointly with the anomaly in the target year. This study of extreme variability was first applied to sea level variable (Pérez Gómez et al 2016) and then extended to other essential variables, sea surface temperature and significant wave height (Pérez Gómez et al 2018). '''CONTEXT''' Projections on Climate Change foresee a future with a greater frequency of extreme sea states (Stott, 2016; Mitchell, 2006). The damages caused by severe wave storms can be considerable not only in infrastructure and buildings but also in the natural habitat, crops and ecosystems affected by erosion and flooding aggravated by the extreme wave heights. In addition, wave storms strongly hamper the maritime activities, especially in harbours. These extreme phenomena drive complex hydrodynamic processes, whose understanding is paramount for proper infrastructure management, design and maintenance (Goda, 2010). In recent years, there have been several studies searching possible trends in wave conditions focusing on both mean and extreme values of significant wave height using a multi-source approach with model reanalysis information with high variability in the time coverage, satellite altimeter records covering the last 30 years and in situ buoy measured data since the 1980s decade but with sparse information and gaps in the time series (e.g. Dodet et al., 2020; Timmermans et al., 2020; Young & Ribal, 2019). These studies highlight a remarkable interannual, seasonal and spatial variability of wave conditions and suggest that the possible observed trends are not clearly associated with anthropogenic forcing (Hochet et al. 2021, 2023). In the North Atlantic, the mean wave height shows some weak trends not very statistically significant. Young & Ribal (2019) found a mostly positive weak trend in the European Coasts while Timmermans et al. (2020) showed a weak negative trend in high latitudes, including the North Sea and even more intense in the Norwegian Sea. For extreme values, some authors have found a clearer positive trend in high percentiles (90th-99th) (Young et al., 2011; Young & Ribal, 2019). '''COPERNICUS MARINE SERVICE KEY FINDINGS''' The mean 99th percentiles showed in the area present a wide range from 2.5 meters in the English Channel with 0.3m of standard deviation (std), 3-5m in the southern and central North Sea with 0.3-0.6m of std, 4 meters in the Skagerrak Strait with 0.6m of std, 6-7m in the northern North Sea with 0.4-0.5m of std to 8 meters in the NorthWest of the British Isles with 0.8-1.0m of std. Results for this year show either low positive or negative anomalies between -0.3m and +0.4m, inside the margin of the standard deviation, in the English Channel, the Skagerrak Strait and the southern and central North Sea except in the station 6200046 with a positive anomaly of 0.8m and a slight negative anomaly (-0.1/-0.5m) inside the margin of the std in the NorthWest of the British Isles and the northern North Sea.
