The influence of global climate change due to greenhouse effects on the earth’s environment will require impact assessment, mitigation and adaptation strategies for the future of our society. This study predicts future ocean wave climate in comparison with present wave climate based on the atmospheric general circulation model and global wave model. The annual averaged and extreme sea surface winds and waves are analyzed in detail. There are clear regional dependences of both annual average and also extreme wave height changes from present to future climates. The wave heights of future climate will increase at both middle latitudes and also in the Antarctic Ocean, with a decrease at the equator.

• Projection of Global Wave Climate Change toward the End of the Twenty-First Century (2012, methodology): “While also using wind fields from a GCM driven by the IPCC A1B emission scenario, the study of Mori et al. (2010) used data from a different atmospheric model and also utilized a different wave model (SWAN) and a lower resolution (1.258) than the one used here.”
