Response of marine climate to future climate change: application to coastal regions
Here we present results from wave models of the north-east Atlantic and the north-west European continental shelf, forced by Met Office Hadley Centre climate model winds, for various future climate scenarios. The wave model (WAM) has been well-validated previously and here it is shown to be statisti...
