Popis: Hydrometeorological support for marine branches of the economy and safety of human activities on offshore regions require knowledge of the main hydrometeorological variables (wind, sea level, currents, wind waves) and their extreme characteristics with long return periods of 25, 50 and 100 years. These characteristics are related to the frequency and the intensity of disastrous hydrometeorological phenomena. Organization of long-term observations in offshore areas is often infeasible. Current attempts to calculate these characteristics on the basis of interpolation of data obtained on coastal stations are not methodically justified. Consequently, the only means of studying these hydrometeorological variables is to use integrated methods that include computer processing of the available data and hydrodynamic and probabilistic modeling.
