Research on climate change impacts on renewable energy is becoming increasingly
relevant due to the vulnerability of the sector and to the continual development of …

We review the characteristics of sea level variability at the coast focussing on how it differs
from the variability in the nearby deep ocean. Sea level variability occurs on all timescales …

An extreme (weather or climate) event is generally defined as the occurrence of a value of a
weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) …

Coastal protection design heights typically consider the superimposed effects of tides,
surges, waves, and relative sea-level rise (SLR), neglecting non-linear feedbacks between …

Coastal responses to sea level rise (SLR) include inundation of wetlands, increased
shoreline erosion, and increased flooding during storm events. Hydrodynamic parameters …

Long-term time series of sea state parameters are required in different coastal engineering
applications. In order to obtain wave data at shallow water and due to the scarcity of …

Surface gravity waves generated by winds are ubiquitous on our oceans and play a
primordial role in the dynamics of the ocean–land–atmosphere interfaces. In particular, wind …

The storm surge event that affected the coastal margins of the southern North Sea on 5–6
December 2013 produced the highest still water levels on record at several tide gauges on …

Large-scale wave reanalysis databases (0.1°–1° spatial resolution) provide valuable
information for wave climate research and ocean applications which require long-term time …
