“…There are no systematic in situ observations of sea waves during bora in the study area, therefore, we used satellite altimeter measurements as the main source of information in this study as well as in several other studies dealing with the sea waves in the Arctic (e.g., [16,23]). We created a database of altimetry measurements of wind speed and significant wave height (SWH) in the Novaya Zemlya region (46 • E-66 • E longitude, 70 • N-78 • N latitude) during bora from CryoSat, Envisat, ERS (European Remote-Sensing Satellite), Geosat, GFO (GEOSat Follow-on), SARAL (Satellite with ARGOS and AltiKa), and Sentinel satellites for the period from 1985 to 1988 and from 1991 to 2018.…”
