Ponce de Leon, S. and Guedes Soares, C. (2015), “Hindcast of Extreme Sea States in North Atlantic Extratropical Storms”, Ocean Dynamics, Vol. 65, pp. 241-254

A characterization of winter storms is made using wave buoys records and numerical hindcasts produced with the WAM model. The spatial and temporal behaviour of the wave parameters inrealisticextreme sea states is analyzed for the period of study 2007-2013. The variability of the HS around the eye of extratropical cyclone of February 2007 was assessed by applying the Principal Component Analysis technique on the hindcast data. From the PCA analysis it can be concluded that first EOF accounts for 85% of the total variability which reveals that maxima values are distributed around the eye of the cyclone with a positive phase.
