A modelling-based assessment of the imprint of storms on wind waves in the western Mediterranean Sea

This study analyses the distribution of ocean wind waves in response to extratropical cyclones over the western Mediterranean Sea. To this end we use an ERA40-based database of atmospheric cyclones and a 3-hourly wind wave hindcast with high horizontal resolution (1/6°) based on an ERA40 downscaled...
