This dataset contains monthly and annual statistics of ocean wave parameters at global scale, including significant wave height, mean wave period and mean wave direction. The WAVEWATCH III (WW3) wave model was driven by surface winds and sea ice concentrations simulated by CanESM5 for the...

The d4PDF-WaveHs dataset represents the first single model initial-condition large ensemble (SMILE, 100-member) of historical significant ocean wave height (Hs) at a global scale. It was produced using an advanced statistical model with predictors derived from Japan's database for policy...

Drought projections on seasonal to annual time scales are presented for Canada over the twenty-first century, based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Results make use of bias-corrected temperature and precipitation projections from 29 global climate models...

Multi-model ensembles for a suite of variables based on projections from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) global climate models (GCMs) are available for 1850-2100 on a common 1x1 degree global grid. Climate projections vary across GCMs due to differences in the representation...

This dataset contains relative trends of annual and monthly regional maximum ocean wave heights in the Arctic, and data for three predictors derived from surface winds and sea ice concentration. It also contains estimates of historical (1979-2205) and future (2081-2100, RCP8.5 scenario) annual...

The Canada’s Changing Climate Report (www.changingclimate.ca/CCCR2019), led by Environment and Climate Change Canada, is about how and why Canada’s climate has changed and what changes are projected for the future. Datasets supporting the results produced for the Canada’s Changing Climate report...

High-resolution statistically downscaled climate indices relevant to climate change impacts in Canada are available at a 10 km spatial resolution and an annual temporal resolution for 1951-2100. The climate indices are based on model projections from 24 global climate models (GCMs) that...
