List of Tables<br />

3.1 Bias and standard deviation of differences <strong>in</strong> meters between significant <strong>wave</strong><br />

heights obta<strong>in</strong>ed from different downscal<strong>in</strong>g techniques and KMH for <strong>the</strong> po<strong>in</strong>ts<br />

near coastal facilities for <strong>the</strong> 1995-2001. In bold face <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imum values with<strong>in</strong><br />

first four methods are marked. The last two l<strong>in</strong>es concern SWH comparison for<br />

<strong>the</strong> multiple regression experiments. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31<br />

3.2 Bias and standard deviation of differences <strong>in</strong> degrees between <strong>wave</strong> directions obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

from HF, multiple regression and KMH for <strong>the</strong> po<strong>in</strong>ts near coastal facilities<br />

for <strong>the</strong> 1995-2001. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39<br />

3.3 Bias and standard deviation of differences <strong>in</strong> seconds between peak periods obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

from HF, MR and KMH for <strong>the</strong> po<strong>in</strong>ts near coastal facilities for 1995-2001. 43<br />

4.1 Magnitude of l<strong>in</strong>ear trends for w<strong>in</strong>d speed annual percentiles <strong>in</strong> m/s per annum.<br />

The first l<strong>in</strong>e shows <strong>the</strong> trends for <strong>the</strong> percentiles obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong>dependently on w<strong>in</strong>d<br />

direction. In second l<strong>in</strong>e only three westerly w<strong>in</strong>d direction sectors are considered<br />

for percentile construction, <strong>the</strong> last l<strong>in</strong>e represents <strong>the</strong> trends for percentiles of <strong>the</strong><br />

rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g five directional sectors. Significance level of <strong>the</strong> non-zero trend is 99%<br />

unless ano<strong>the</strong>r is explicitly shown. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50<br />
