Veronica Morales-Marquez présente un séminaire sur le sujet suivant : "Vagues extrêmes et régimes climatiques de variabilité dans l'Atlantique Nord et la Méditerranée".

Séminaire, MIO
The spatial and temporal variability of extreme wave climate in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea is assessed using a 31-year wave model hindcast. Seasonality accounts for 50% of the extreme wave height variability in the North Atlantic Ocean and for 70% in some areas of the Mediterranean Sea. Once it is filtered out, the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Scandinavian Index are the dominant large-scale atmospheric patterns that control the interannual variability of extreme waves during winters in the North Atlantic Ocean; and to a lesser extent, the East Atlantic Oscillation also modulates extreme waves in some areas. In the Mediterranean Sea, the dominant modes are the East Atlantic and East Atlantic/Western Russia modes acting strongly during their negative phases.
