Figure 1. Map of the Mediterranean Sea basin and sub-basins (separated for the climate analysis purposes of this paper by dashed gray lines). The most relevant regional winds are indicated by black arrows denoting blow-to direction.
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.
waves statistics at specied points of the Mediterranean Sea at pratically every offshore location (at about 50 km intervals). 1.2 General description of the atlas’s content
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...
26 lip 2021 · The Mediterranean Sea is a semi-enclosed basin with large spatial and seasonal variability of both winds and wavefields, making it an excellent laboratory to study the effects of the interaction of the wind- and wave-induced currents in the general circulation.
9 wrz 2022 · In the Mediterranean Sea, coastal extreme sea levels are mainly caused by storm surges driven by atmospheric pressure and surface winds from extratropical cyclones.
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.
