TL;DR: ERA-40 is a re-analysis of meteorological observations from September 1957 to August 2002 produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in collaboration with many institutions as mentioned in this paper.

100-Year Return Value Estimates for Ocean Wind Speed and Significant Wave Height from the ERA-40 Data
S. Caires,Andreas Sterl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, global estimates of 100-yr return values of wind speed and significant wave height are presented based on the ECMWF 40-yr Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data and are linearly corrected using estimates based on buoy data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatology, variability and extrema of ocean waves: the Web-based KNMI/ERA-40 wave atlas
TL;DR: The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has recently published ERA-40, a reanalysis covering the period September 1957 to August 2002 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of ocean wind and wave data using triple collocation
S. Caires,Andreas Sterl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a triple collocation statistical model was proposed to estimate the variances of the errors of the estimation of significant wave height and wind speed from the ERA-40 system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercomparison of Different Wind–Wave Reanalyses
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of wind speed and significant wave height data from several reanalyses is made against time-averaged altimeter and buoy measurements, and the results show that although the quality of the datasets in terms of their comparisons with observations differs, most of the long-scale features are equally present in all datasets.
