Abstract: 
The present paper contains statistical analysis of modelled sea state data for the Western Baltic Sea for a time period of 52 years. Twenty charts were created, showing mean wave heights and frequencies of occurrence for different seasons. Taking a closer look at three potential areas for offshore wind energy in the Western Baltic the following mean significant wave heights were calculated (from west to east): Fehmarnbelt 0.6 m, Kadet Furrow 0.7 m and Arkona Basin 0.9 m. A comparison with waverider buoy measurements at five locations for different time series proves the good quality of the modelled data. These charts impart detailed information on the sea state from a spatial and temporal perspective which can be utilized by a wide range of users from different backgrounds. An exemplary monthly analysis of one location shows the possible application of the data set. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
