Abstract
The persistence of Hs and Hmax in winter is also examined. Wave fields with Hs>12Â m and Hmax>16Â m do not last longer than 3Â h. Low-to-moderate wave heights that persist for more than 12Â h dominate the relationship of the wave field with the winter NAO index over 2000-2009. In contrast, the inter-annual variability of wave fields with Hs>5.5Â m or Hmax>8.5Â m and wave fields persisting over ~2.5 days is not associated with the winter NAO index.
