“…Positive values of UI in dicate upwelling-favourable conditions whereas negative values indicate downwelling-favourable conditions. Further numerical details can be found in González-Nuevo et al (2014). In this study, values of UI were averaged over 15 d prior to each sampling date.…”

“…Accordingly, a number of methods have been developed in order to estimate coastal wave properties from offshore information or largerscale simulations. One can refer to the early work of O'Reilly and Guza (1993), who proposed wave energy transformation coefficients based on the comparison of two spectral wave models' results or more recent ones using nesting and data assimilation schemes (Bertotti and Cavaleri, 2012;Rusu and Soares, 2014) and machine-learning techniques (Camus et al, 2011;Plant and Holland, 2011b, a). A work that stands out in recent literature is that of Long et al (2014), who proposed a probabilistic method based on model scenarios for constructing wave time series at inshore locations.…”

Abstract. Numerical modelling has become an essential component of today's coastal planning, decision support and risk assessment. High-resolution modelling offers an extensive range of capabilities regarding simulated conditions, works and practices and provides with a wide array of data regarding nearshore wave dynamics and hydrodynamics. In the present work, the open-source TELEMAC suite and the commercial software MIKE21 are applied to selected coastal areas of South Italy. Applications follow a scenario-based approach in order to study representative wave conditions in the coastal field; the models' results are intercompared in order to test both their performance and capabilities and are further evaluated on the basis of their operational use for coastal planning and design. A multiparametric approach for the rapid assessment of wave conditions in coastal areas is also presented and implemented in areas of the same region. The overall approach is deemed to provide useful insights on the tested models and the use of numerical models -in general -in the above context, especially considering that the design of harbours, coastal protection works and management practices in the coastal zone is based on scenario-based approaches as well.

“…Thus, a better perspective of the wind and wave climate and of their expected dynamics along the European sea coasts is particularly important for providing a more effective support to the coastal navigation and harbor operations. In this way, marine and coastal hazards can be better prevented [49][50][51]. Furthermore, another important direction of practical application of the results provided by the present work is related to the support for the studies focused on the marine renewable energy.…”

The objective of this work is to analyze the wind and wave conditions along the coasts of the European seas. The emphasis is put on the mean and maximum values. The areas studied are characterized by intense maritime activities, including traffic, as well as various harbor and offshore operations. In the present study, 35 years of data coming from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) were processed, corresponding to 40 different geographical locations. Thus, these 40 reference points are defined for some of the most relevant offshore locations in the coastal environments targeted. As regards the data considered in the analysis, two different sets were used. The first corresponds to the wave model, while the second to the atmospheric model, both operated by ECMWF. Finally, it can be concluded that the proposed work provides a global perspective related to the average and maximum wind and wave conditions and to a further extent on the climate dynamics along the coasts of the European seas.
