Abstract
Given the climate changes that are becoming more evident in recent years, the assessment of their impact on the dynamics of the environment matrix over extended periods is needed. In this paper, the results obtained using a Matlab toolbox developed to provide numerical and graphical outputs for a quick assessment of the present and future wave and wind climate are presented. Based on the wave and wind simulation data, quick information about the sea states or wind conditions over an area or in selected points are provided as output. These include annual, seasonal and monthly statistics, trends, bivariate distribution of the wave parameters, wind speed magnitude, average wave and wind energy, analyses of the extreme events, etc., Such results are of interest for various applications in the marine environment.
