A state-of-the-art regional assessment of future directional wave spectra in the Mediterranean Sea and the projected changes with respect to hindcast is presented. A multi-model EURO-CORDEX regional ensemble of bias-adjusted wave climate projections in eleven locations of the Mediterranean are used for the assessment of future seasonal changes...

This work presents the performance analysis of a multi-model ensemble of wave climate projections in the Mediterranean Sea against hindcast data. The wave projections were developed with the numerical model Wavewatch III forced by surface wind fields of 17 EURO-CORDEX GCM-RCMs providing time series of the main wave parameters on a 3-h and 10-km...

This paper presents a new approach to statistically characterize and simulate the wave climate under storm conditions. The methodology includes the joint selection of the parameters that identify storm events (significant wave height threshold, minimum storm duration and minimum interarrival time between consecutive storms) by means of...

All numerical weather prediction models used for the wind industry need to produce their forecasts starting from the main synoptic hours 00, 06,12, and 18 UTC, once the analysis becomes available. The 6h latency time between two consecutive model runs calls for strategies to fill the gap by providing new accurate predictions having, at least,...
