Zusammenfassung |
In the context of wave climate variability, long-term alterations in the wave
storminess pattern of the Catalan coast (northwestern Mediterranean Sea) are
analysed in terms of wave energy content and wave direction, on the basis of
wave hindcast data (from 44-year time series). In general, no significant
temporal trends are found for annual mean and maximum energy. However, the
same analysis carried out separately for different wave directions reveals a
remarkable increase in the storm energy of events from the south, which is
partly due to a rise in the annual percentage of such storms. A case study of
Tarragona Port (on the southern Catalan coast) highlights the importance of
including changes in wave direction in the study of potential impacts of
climate change. In particular, an increase in the frequency of storms from
the south leads to greater agitation inside the Port. |
