This study predicts future ocean wave climate in comparison with present wave climate based on the high resolution atmospheric general circulation model and global wave model. The annual average and extreme of sea surface winds and waves are analyzed in detail. There are clear regional dependence of annual average and extreme values from present to future climate. The wind speeds and wave heights of future climate are increased in middle latitudes and the Antarctic Ocean, and these are decreased in the equator. The annual averaged winds and waves are decreased off coast of Japan but their maxima are increased than those of present climate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
