dc.description.abstract	Wind wave reanalyses have become a valuable source of information for wave climate research and ocean and coastal applications over the last decade. Nowadays, wave reanalyses databases generated with third generation models provide useful wave climate information to complement, both in time and space, the instrumental measurements (buoys and alimetry observations). In this work, a new global wave reanalysis (GOW) from 1948 onwards is presented. GOW dataset is intended to be periodically updated and it is based on a calibration of a model hindcast with satellite altimetry data, after verification against historical data. The outliers due to tropical cyclones (not simulated due to insufficient resolution in the wind forcing) are identified and not taken into account in the process to correct the simulated wave heights with the altimeter data. The results are validated with satellite measurements in time and space. This new calibrated database represents appropriately the wave climate characteristics since 1948 and aims to be the longest and up-to-date wave dataset for global wave climate variability analysis as well as for many coastal engineering applications.	es_ES
dc.description.sponsorship	The authors wish to acknowledge the NOAA, DFO and Puertos del Estado for providing its data. The altimeter data were produced and distributed by AVISO (http://www.aviso.ocanobs.com/). B. G. Reguero is indebted to the Universidad de Cantabria for the funding provided. R. Mínguez is also indebted to the Spanish Ministry MICINN for the funding provided with the “Ramon y Cajal” program. This work was partly funded by projects ‘GRACCIE’ (CSD2007-00067, Programa Consolider-Ingenio 2010), ‘C3E’ (200800050084091) and ‘IMAR21’ (CTM2010-15009) from the Spanish Ministry MAMRM, and 'MARUCA' (E17/08) from the Spanish Ministry MF. The study was also carried out as a part of MAREN project, partly funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Atlantic Area Transnational Programme. The support of the European Commission through FP7.2009-1, Contract 244104 - THESEUS ("Innovative technologies for safer European coasts in a changing climate"), is also gratefully acknowledged. We also want to thank the two anonymous reviewers for their comments that contributed to the final version of the manuscript.	es_ES
