Zusammenfassung:The influence of a changing wind climate on the sea surface elevations along the North Sea coast was investigated with a statistical downscaling technique and with a dynamical model. Both models agree on the following results: in the past, the winter means of high water levels along the North Sea coast increase on the order of l-2mm/year, on account ofonly the atmospheric forcing, whereas the high intra-monthly percentiles - reduced by the winter averages - show no clear trend: the British Coast exhibits a slight negative and the continental coast an equally small positive tendency. In the climate scenarios, the effect on the highpercentiles follows the same pattern. A slightly larger and everywhere positive difference is diagnosed inthe mean water levels along the North Sea coast. This study evaluates the impact ofa changing atmospheric forcing, only. Additional influences, such as the eustatic and isostatic effects are not accounted for.
