Results of the wave hindcast and following wave climate analysis have shown marked regional characteristics of the wave climate, related to the peculiarities of the regional winds blowing over the Mediterranean sub-basins.
The Bora, Sirocco, Meltemi, Tramontane, Lebeccio, Mistral and Marin are the most common winds of the Mediterranean. How can you get to know them in advance and what should you expect from them while at sea?
The database, named MWM – Mediterranean Wind Wave Model – is based on numerical models (hindcast approach) and required intensive use of all existing measurements both for calibration and continuous validation purposes.
1 lis 2021 · The climate variability of wind waves is evaluated at seasonal scale by proposing and adopting a definition of seasons for the Mediterranean Sea states that is based on the satellite altimetry...
3 lis 2021 · In the present study, we elaborate a detailed assessment of the changes in wave climates observed during the last 41 years in the WMed, and those focusing on the trends of mean and Max SWH, mean and Max WS, and on the last records of Max SWH observed during the last decade.
28 lip 2022 · The mean annual and the interannual variability of wind speed are reduced in the southern parts of the Mediterranean basin, compared to the corresponding northern parts. The angular variance of the mean annual wind direction exhibits an analogous behavior.
28 wrz 2022 · This study investigates the spatial and temporal variability of coastal extreme sea levels in the Mediterranean basin, using a new ocean hindcast generated with a coupled hydrodynamic-wave model that simulates storm surges and wind-waves.
