WAve Model (POLCOMS‐WAM) modeling system has been used to model combined tides, surges, waves, and wave‐current interaction in the Irish Sea on a 1.85 km grid. A method for data analysis is presented to determine what factors and interactions contribute to extreme conditions in a region of interest....
