| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper reviews the characterization of wave storms along the
Spanish/Catalan Mediterranean coast. It considers the "physical" and
"statistical" description of wave parameters and how they are affected by
the prevailing meteo patterns and the sharp gradients in orography and
bathymetry. The available field data and numerically simulated wave fields
are discussed from this perspective. The resulting limits in accuracy and
predictability are illustrated with specific examples. This allows deriving
some conclusions for both short-term operational predictions and a long-term
climatic assessment. |
