Dangerous Wind Waves in the North Atlantic at Different Regimes of Atmospheric Circulation

A. A. Lukin and E. S. Nesterov

Studied are the formation processes of dangerous wind waves in the water area of the North Atlantic during three cold periods (October–March) from 2007 to 2010. Obtained are the estimates of variability of cyclone trajectories, wind fields, and wave height in the North Atlantic at the intensification of zonal or meridional atmospheric circulation.
