Abstract:

The goal of the CLIMEWAR project is to evaluate the impact of climate changes on the future wave climate in the marine system defined by the Black and Mediterranean seas. A multi-model and multiple-scenario ensemble of the marine system wave climate projections over the last 60 years of the 21st Century will be generated based on the results of the SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) model forced with Regional Climate Models (RCMs) driven by different boundary conditions, under RCPs and SSPs scenarios. The potential impact of climate change on the future sea state conditions is estimated by performing comparisons with the ensemble of the present wave climate (1976-2005). The present sea state conditions will be compared with observations and reliable hindcast data. The uncertainties associated with wave climate changes will be identified and quantified. Assuming that the statistical properties of the present climate biases are maintained in the future, bias correction methods will be applied to generate a bias-corrected ensemble of the wave climate projections. The future changes of the mean (annual, seasonal, and monthly) and extreme values of the main wave parameters in both basins will be evaluated, together with their variability and trends. Extreme value analysis will be performed in various key locations.
