Variations in extreme wave events near a South Pacific Island under global warming: case study of Tropical Cyclone Tomas

Abstract The intensification of tropical cyclones (TCs) and wind-induced ocean waves is expected to be amplified under global warming conditions. In 2010, strong TC Tomas approached the Fiji Islands and caused severe damage. Here, an ensemble simulation technique is combined with a pseudo-global war...
