Comparison of video-derived wave estimates (black) with European Re-Analysis (ERA5) data (red) at Grand Popo (Benin) at monthly scale: significant wave height (Hs), period (T) and incident angle. ERA 5 is a global atmospheric reanalysis developed by the Copernicus Climate Change (C3S) and produced at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). ERA 5 data are freely available at www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/reanalysis-datasets/era5. ERA5 waves were propagated to the shore using the formula by51. Shaded areas indicate the standard deviation of all days in the month. The figure was generated using MATLAB R2013a (8.1.0.604) software.
