Year: 2025

Extreme wind waves occurring during storms are a major natural hazard for the maritime economy on the one hand and a driver of various natural processes, e. g. the erosion of coastlines, on the other. Assessing the extreme values of wind wave heights and their long-term trends is crucial for coastal and offshore engineering and climate change studies. This study is dedicated to the values and long-term trends of extreme wave heights in the Black Sea. A 73-years long reanalysis is applied for the
