Abstract: An alternative approach for the parameterization of the air?sea momentum flux in the marine surface boundary layer was implemented into a regional coupled atmosphere?wave model. The sensitivity of the atmospheric circulation ...

Abstract: Hindcasts with reanalysis-driven regional climate models (RCMs) are a common tool to assess weather statistics (i.e., climate) and recent changes and trends. The capability of different state-of-the-art RCMs (with and ...

Abstract: An analysis of the storm climate of the northeast Atlantic and the North Sea as simulated by a regional climate model for the past 44 yr is presented. The model simulates the period 1958?2001 driven by the National Centers ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of an atmospheric high-resolution limited area model to a sea state?dependent roughness is examined. Two sets of Monte Carlo experiments are compared. In the first set the sea state was explicitly accounted ...

Abstract: AbstractGeostrophic wind speeds calculated from mean sea level pressure readings are used to derive time series of northeast Atlantic storminess. The technique of geostrophic wind speed triangles provides relatively ...

Abstract: lobal atmospheric reanalyses have become a common tool for both validation of climate models and diagnostic studies, such as assessing climate variability and long-term trends. Presently, the Twentieth Century Reanalysis ...

Abstract: ind-generated waves at the sea surface are of outstanding importance for both their practical relevance in many aspects, such as coastal erosion, protection, or safety of navigation, and for their scientific relevance in ...

Abstract: he detection of potential long-term changes in historical storm statistics and storm surges plays a vitally important role for protecting coastal communities. In the absence of long homogeneous wind records, the authors ...

Abstract: A compilation of coastal weather analyses and climate change scenarios for the future for northern Europe from various sources is presented. They contain no direct measurements but results from numerical models that have ...
