Marine Climate and Climate Change Storms, Wind Waves and Storm Surges [Paperback]

Marine environmental conditions such as storms, storm surges and wave heights are directly experienced by, for example, off-shore operations or coastal populations. The authors review and bring together the state-of-the-art and present day knowledge about historical changes, recent trends and concepts on how marine environmental conditions may change in the future as well as discuss models and data problems.

Focusing on changes in the marine environment, this book provides a comprehensive description of methods and concepts upon which modern climate change reconstructions and plausible future scenarios are built.

The authors also discuss models and data problems.

Storms, storm surges ocean waves and climate change are addressed in a comprehensive manner and put into a common framework

Marine climate change has an impact on storms, storm surges, and wave heights. These changes, in turn, have a dramatic effect on off-shore operations and coastal populations. This book brings together and reviews the history, recent trends, alÃ>
