Figure 1
Validation statistics. Taylor diagram for wind speed (filled circles) and significant wave height (filled diamonds) at platform K13 as well as for high water levels at Cuxhaven (open circles), Helgoland (open triangles) and Borkum (open squares) for 1980-1999 comparing results from coastDat-1 (blue) and coastDat-2 (red) with observations. For wind speed, also a comparison with the driving global NCEP reanalysis is shown (green). The black star denotes the location of a data set that would perfectly match observations.
