Abstract: This dataset contains the results of the accepted Nature Communications manuscript entitled "Global coastal attenuation of wind-waves observed with radar altimetry", with the following abstract: Coastal studies of wave climate and evaluations of wave energy resources are mainly regional and based on the use of computationally very expensive models or a network of in-situ data. Considering the significant wave height, satellite radar altimetry provides an established global and relatively long-term source, whose coastal data are nevertheless typ...
