This dataset contains 21 statistics of wind and waves calculated from hourly reanalysis data of historical surface winds and ocean surface waves for the Canadian East Coast for the period 1954-2018 (each statistic has an annual, 4 seasonal, and 12 monthly values). These data can be used for characterization of marine surface wind and wave climate conditions, trends and variability for Canadian waters (East Coast), and for use of coastal and offshore operations/risk management (e.g., oil platforms, shipping). The hourly wind and wave’s data may be obtained upon request from the Meteorological Service of Canada's Climate Services.
