Statistical downscaling of seasonal wave forecasts
Despite the potential applicability of seasonal forecasting for decision making in construction, maintenance and operations of coastal and offshore infrastructures, tailored climate services have yet to be developed in the marine sector. In this work, we explore the potential of a state-of-the-art s...

Despite the potential applicability of seasonal forecasting for decision making in construction, maintenance and operations of coastal and offshore infrastructures, tailored climate services have yet to be developed in the marine sector.

Since this information is not directly provided by models, a statistical downscaling method is applied to infer significant wave height based on model outputs such as sea level pressure, which drive waves over large wave generation areas beyond the target location over time.
