Zusammenfassung:In this work, we make use of two wave databases, satellite measurements and numerical modeling, to develop a methodology to obtain reliable estimates of the spatial and temporal variability of global wave energy resources. As a result, the global distribution of wave energy resources has been evaluated (since 1948) at a global scale analyzing its variability in time (within seasons and months) and space. The inter-annual variability is also addressed by analyzing the correlation with several climate indices.
