Climate Change Offshore N. W. Europe —An Assessment of the Impact of Changing Meteorological and Oceanographic (Metocean) Conditions on Offshore Activities

摘要

A one-day conference on the . assessment of the impact of changing meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) conditions on offshore activities was held at Imperial College, London, on 18 April 1996. It considered, as its main theme, whether there had been an increase in the wave climatology of the North Sea, and whether this had been accomplished by a corresponding change in the wind climatology. It was well attended by those with a keen interest in the question, all of whom played an active part in the proceedings.
