Creation of new Extra-Tropical Cyclone fields in the North Atlantic with Generative Adversarial Networks: A deep learning framework to generate new synthetic atmospheric variables fields from the learned original sample data distribution

Extra-Tropical Cyclones (ETCs) are major storm system ruling and influencing the atmospheric structure at mid-latitudes. These events are usually characterized by strong winds and heavy precipitation and cause considerable storm surges with threatening wave systems for coastal regions. The possibility to simulate these storms or to increase the...

Extreme value analysis of complex wave systems

The design of offshore and coastal hydraulic structures is very much dependent on the hydraulic boundary conditions, such as significant wave height, mean wave period and wave direction, among other parameters. A proper design value of these parameters is required during the design process, based on the corresponding safety philosophy and the...

Assessing the impact of climate change on longshore sediment transport along the central Dutch coast using statistical downscaling

A low-lying country as The Netherland is prone to coastal flooding, and its risk may be enhanced by global-warming induced climate change. Sea level rise has been historically considered as the key factor in coastal retreat, but waves also play an important erosive role along the coast, which can also be affected by the changing climate. During...
