This review assesses storm studies over the North Atlantic and northwestern Europe
regarding the occurrence of potential long‐term trends. Based on a systematic review of …

This paper discusses the state of European research in historical climatology. This field of
science and an overview of its development are described in detail. Special attention is …

This chapter assesses the current state of knowledge of the rate of change of global-
averaged and regional sea-level in relation to climate change. We focus on the 20th and …

Downscaling local daily precipitation from large-scale weather variables is often necessary
when studying how climate change impacts hydrology. This study proposes a two-step …

The European project WASA (Waves and Storms in the North Atlantic) has been set up to
verify or disprove hypotheses of a worsening storm and wave climate in the northeast …

Annual and seasonal statistics of local air pressure characteristics have already been used
as proxies for storminess across Northern Europe. We present an update of such proxies for …

Potential Predictability of Summer Mean Precipitation in a Dynamical Seasonal Prediction
System with Systematic Error Correction in: Journal of Climate Volume 17 Issue 4 (2004) …

Instrumental and documentary records of storminess along the Atlantic coast of western
Europe show that storm activity exhibits strong spatial and temporal variability at annual and …

Storms occasionally bring havoc to Northwest Europe. At present, a single storm may cause
damage of up to 7 billion US $, of which a substantial part is insured. One scenario of …

Accurate assessment of the magnitude and frequency of extreme wind speed is of
fundamental importance for many safety, engineering and reinsurance applications. We …
