Extreme wave analysis based on atmospheric pattern classification: an application along the Italian coast

<p>This paper provides a methodology for classifying samples of significant wave-height peaks in homogeneous subsets in terms of the atmospheric circulation patterns behind the observed extreme wave conditions. Then, a methodology is given for the computation of the overall extreme value distr...
