This study reveals characteristics of the Mediterranean Seas wave climate by illustrating the results of a spatial assessment of extreme significant wave heights. The assessment was based on a 37-year wind and wave hindcast database covering the entire area at 10-km resolution. A point-wise GEV (Generalized Extreme Values) model was employed to...

Sea level records, collected in digital form with high sampling rate by recently upgraded tide gauges located along the Mediterranean coasts, are subjected to a posteriori investigation to examine and characterize occurrence of sea level oscillations in the tsunami period range, induced by both underwater or coastal earthquakes and by...
