  • Descrição: Coastal storms can cause erosion and flooding of coastal areas, often accompanied by significant social-economic disruption. As such, storm characterisation is crucial for an improved understanding of storm impacts and thus for coastal management. However, storm definitions are commonly different between authors, and storm thresholds are often selected arbitrarily, with the statistical and meteorological independence between storm events frequently being neglected. In this work, a storm identification algorithm based on statistically defined criteria was developed to identify independent storms in time series of significant wave height for high wave energy environments. This approach proposes a minimum duration between storms determined using the extremal index. The performance of the storm identification algorithm was tested against the commonly used peak-over-threshold. Both approaches were applied to 40 and 70-year-long calibrated wave reanalyses datasets for Western Scotland, where the intense and rapid succession of extratropical storms during the winter makes the identification of independent storm events notably challenging. The storm identification algorithm provides results that are consistent with regional meteorological processes and timescales, allowing to separate independent storms during periods of rapid storm succession, enabling an objective and robust storm characterisation. Identifying storms and their characteristics using the proposed algorithm allowed to determine a statistically significant increasing long-term trend in storm duration, which contributes to the increase in storm wave power in the west of Scotland. The coastal storm identification algorithm is found to be particularly suitable for high-energy, storm-dominated coastal environments, such as those located along the main global extratropical storm tracks.
