Marine Climate and Climate Change (eBook, PDF)

Storms, Wind Waves and Storm Surges

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Marine climate change has an impact on storms, storm surges, and wave heights. These changes, in turn, have a dramatic effect on off-shore operations and coastal populations. This book brings together and reviews the history, recent trends, and theories on how climate change will affect the marine environment. Readers get a comprehensive description of the methods and concepts upon which modern climate change reconstructions and plausible future scenarios are built. The authors show how storms, storm surges, ocean waves, and climate change fit within a common framework. Consequences and implications for future off-shore operations and coastal defense are covered in detail.
