JCOMM Technical Report, 64. Coastal inundation forecasting demonstration project - Implementation plan
Coastal disasters are a major threat to the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on safety and socio-economic development in low-lying, highly-populated coastal areas. They include storm surges and wind-induced waves associated with severe cyclones, and their combined effect with river flooding, leading to coastal inundation. Risk management for such coastal disasters represents a great challenge to scientists and policy makers in Meteorology, Hydrology, Oceanography, Emergency Management and Coastal Planning. In particular, recognizing this extreme vulnerability of coastal areas to storm ...

Joint WMO/ IOC for Oceanographic and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM). Guide to Storm Surge Forecasting
The National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of an increasing number of maritime countries are actively engaged in the provision of storm surge forecast services for a wide range of maritime and coastal activities, in particular for coastal defense, shipping, fisheries, offshore mining, commerce, coastal engineering, construction and recreation. This guide draws attention to vulnerabilities in coastal areas exposed to storm surges by focusing on risk forecasting, in addition to hazard forecasting.

JCOMM Technical Report, 57. Extreme value analysis: wave data
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) - WMO, 2011In this report we begin by describing and discussing approaches that can be used to estimate such return values in Chapter 2. Approaches based on extreme value theory as well as ad hoc methods are considered. We then present in Chapter 3 some worked examples using two time series of significant wave height measurements, one in deep and the other in shallow waters. In Chapter 4 we provide an inventory of software packages available to carry out extreme value analyses. We finish in Chapter 5 with some guidelines / recommendations.

JCOMM Technical Report, 59. Proceedings of the third International workshop on advances in the use of historical marine climate data
Marine surface observations—which represent a vital component of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)—are key to understanding global climate, including its variability on time scales ranging from sub-daily to weekly to centuries. Prior to 1970, ships were almost the only source of observations. In the modern era, sensors deployed on ships, moored and drifting buoys, aircraft, and Earth Observation (EO) satellites all provide surface measurements of many different variables. The Third International Workshop on Advances in the Use of Historical Marine Climate Data (MARCDAT-III) was hosted ...
