Climatological distributions of the averaged Hs-MAS (significant wave height simulated by MASNUM-WAM, left-column) and Hs-COW (significant wave height derived from COWCLIP2 dataset, right-column) for the annual mean (panels a,b) and 95-th percentile (panels c,d) statistics, with the corresponding quantitative errors exhibited in panels b and d, respectively. The sampling period is from 1980 to 2014.
