Regional frequency analysis of extreme ocean waves along the Indian coastline in a changing climate

Key Points

• Extreme ocean waves were analyzed for frequency along the Indian coastline in a changing climate.
• Results indicate significant changes in the frequency of ocean waves in recent decades, especially since the 1980s.
• Assessment used a regional frequency analysis method to explore historical wave data and current trends.
• Findings may enable better preparedness for coastal management and erosion mitigation efforts against extreme weather.
