TLDR
In this paper, the authors address projected changes of wave climate in the North Atlantic and their impact on the safe design of ships, with a particular focus given on associated uncertainties, and the potential effect of climate change on the safety level of current design practice for tankers is demonstrated.

Global trends in wind speed and wave height over the past 25 years

TL;DR: A 23-year database of calibrated and validated satellite altimeter measurements is used to investigate global changes in oceanic wind speed and wave height over this period and finds a general global trend of increasing values of windspeed and, to a lesser degree, wave height.

Prediction and reconstruction of ocean wave heights based on bathymetric data using LSTM neural networks

TL;DR: A machine learning model based on Long Short-Term Memory neural networks for reconstruction and short- and long-term prediction of nearshore significant wave height (SWH), integrating bathymetric data for the first time is developed.

Comparison of wind speed and wave height trends from twentieth-century models and satellite altimeters

TL;DR: In this article, the trends in marine 10m wind speed U10 and significant wave height Hs found in two century-long reanalyses are compared against a model-only integration.

Comparing different contour methods with response-based methods for extreme ship response analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a response emulator based on Gaussian processes regression with adaptive sampling has been established based on response calculations from a hydrodynamic model to estimate the vertical bending moment of a tanker.

Fatigue damage assessment of mooring lines under the effect of wave climate change and marine corrosion

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of wave climate change and marine corrosion on the fatigue damage assessment of mooring lines are considered by introducing a reasonable model into the hull/mooring system coupled dynamics.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Rogue waves and their generating mechanisms in different physical contexts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of rogue waves, which is the name given by oceanographers to isolated large amplitude waves, that occur more frequently than expected for normal, Gaussian distributed, statistical events.
