| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper presents the reconstruction of a climatological series of winter
coastal storms on the northern coasts of the Gulf of Cadiz. This series has
been put together using information extracted from regional and local Spanish
newspapers. It includes all the storms coming from the Atlantic sector that
have been detected during the winter season, from October to March, between
1929 and 2005. In order to validate this historical storm series, it has
been compared with storms series identified from quasi-observational data
and using different wave heights as thresholds to decide what is to be
considered as a coastal storm. Nearly 2.6 reports per year about coastal storms
are published in the press which correspond to waves of 3.6 m high or more and
to prevailing winds from a direction ranging between SSW and WNW. A long-
term positive trend has been detected for the complete storm series. If only
the instrumental period is analysed, no significant trend is detected. It is
suggested that this difference might be associated with the impact of the
North Atlantic Oscillation over the occurrence of storms in this area. |
