摘要
A workshop was held to establish a community working group focused on coordinated ocean-wave climate projections (COWCLIP) created an opportunity to discuss the current status of international activities in wind-wave climate research. The key limitation of understanding historical variability of wave climate is length of observational records. Key science questions leading research of the historical wave record revolved around four themes. They were mechanisms of observed changes in wave climate, attribution of change, data issues, and impacts. To support intercomparison between multiple datasets, some standardization within the COWCLIP community is required. Several key questions relating to development of wave climate projections were identified at the COWCLIP workshop. COWCLIP aims to routinely generate wave projections from the CMIP simulations, providing an added climate parameter to assess future change. 21.
