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 />
