Abstract

In this work, the basic objectives and structure of the MAST project EURO WAVES are described. The purpose of the project is to integrate, on a European scale, high quality offshore wave statistics with appropriate coastal numerical wave models and geographical and bathymetric information, to allow a relatively inexperienced user to obtain a detailed statistical description of the ocean wave climate at any nearshore location in European waters. The EUROWAVES "toolbox" will cover the northeast Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Barents Sea, the Med
