Impact of a wind climate change on the surge in the southern part of the North Sea

The study described in this report focused on the impact of a greenhouse-induced change of extreme wind climate on the surge in the southern part of the North Sea. Because up to now the bounds of natural variability of the present wind climate are not clearly defined, it is however not possible to predict this greenhouse-induced extreme wind climate change in terms of position of storm tracks and/or storm intensities.
