This paper reviews the characterization of wave storms along the Spanish/Catalan
Mediterranean coast. It considers the" physical" and" statistical" description of wave …

Measurements of shoreline displacements along the Ebro delta coast have been used to
estimate the medium-term evolution of the coastline. Aerial photographs and beach profile …

Due to the limited supply of sediment from the Ebro river, its delta is mainly subject to
reshaping processes in the form of alongshore alternation of erosive and accretive coastal …

A 5-class intensity scale for wave storms in the Catalan coast is presented. This has been
done by analysing a storm data set which comprises 5 buoys during the period 1988/2008 …

Projected future regional wave climate scenarios at a high temporal‐spatial scale were
obtained for the NW Mediterranean Sea, using five combinations of regional‐global …

The importance of coasts and the need for improving knowledge of their environment
through the observation and modelling of processes is evident from human activities and …

The paper compares the wave hindcast in the Western Mediterranean sea using the
reanalysis wind fields from HIPOCAS and ERA-40 from ECMWF for November 2001. The …

The NW Mediterranean experiences, as illustrated by the last decade, strong and rapidly
varying storms with severe waves and winds. This has motivated a continuous validation of …

This paper studies climatic drivers (air and water temperature, precipitation rates, river
discharge, sea level and storm patterns) in four Mediterranean regions: the Catalan …

Abstract The Ebro River is the largest freshwater course of Spain with a discharge (in the
lower course) that has been reduced in the last few decades due to the construction of …
