The Northeast Atlantic possesses an energetic and variable wind and wave climate which has a large potential for renewable energy extraction; for example along the western seaboards off Ireland. The role of surface winds ...

On the 1st of May 2018, the NWP suite was upgraded and cycle 40h1.1 was used for the 1200 UTC forecast. This Technical Note describes this upgrade and details the local changes made to the model configuration, along with ...

Large scale atmospheric oscillations are known to have an influence on waves in the North Atlantic. In quantifying how the wave and wind climate of this region may change towards the end of the century due to climate change, ...

This paper aims to extend and update the survey of extreme wave events in Ireland that was previously carried out by O’Brien et al. (2013). The original catalogue highlighted the frequency of such events dating back as far ...

A Bayesian hierarchical framework is used to model extreme sea states, incorporating a latent spatial process to more e ffectively capture the spatial variation of the extremes. The model is applied to a 34-year hindcast ...
