Das Projekt "STOWASUS-2100: Szenarien fuer regionale Stuerme, Wellen und Fluten im 21. Jahrhundert" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von GKSS-Forschungszentrum Geesthacht, Institut für Gewässerphysik durchgeführt. The project is a joint atmospheric/oceanographic numerical modelling effort aiming at constructing and analysing storm, wave and surge climatologies for the North Atlantic/European region in a climate forced by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases and to compare with present day conditions. It will be investigated whether any systematic anomalies regarding frequency, intensity of area of occurrence are found for these extreme events. Also physical mechanisms responsible for possible scenario anomalies will be investigated. Prime Contractor: Danish Meteorological Institute, Research and Development Department, Meteorological and Oceanographic Research Division; Kopenhagen/Denmark.
