Short summary
Short summary
In January 2026, an exceptional storm brought record waves, flooding, and strong currents to the Mediterranean Sea. To understand its coastal impact, we combined data from Europe's ocean monitoring service with a detailed coastal computer model, tracking the storm from open sea to shore. We found unusually high waves, raised sea levels, and strong changes in currents and saltiness. Combining wide-area forecasts with local models improves flood prediction, supporting earlier coastal warning.

Short summary
We present a global hazard-oriented dataset of storm surges and significant wave heights, including bulk and spectral peak wave parameters, spanning 1950–2023 on a high-resolution in coastal areas. Significant wave heights are bias-corrected using satellite altimetry, while storm surges are derived from sea surface heights through frequency-based filtering. The dataset is tailor made for regional downscaling and assessment of compound-events for multi hazard mapping.

Short summary
The study evaluated CO2–carbonate system dynamics in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre during 2009–2019. Significant ocean acidification, largely due to rising anthropogenic CO2 levels, was found. Cooling, freshening, and enhanced convective processes intensified this trend, affecting calcite and aragonite saturation. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of ocean acidification and improve our knowledge about its impact on marine ecosystems.

Short summary
We present wind wave parameter data from research cruises in the North Atlantic in 2020 and 2021 and the SeaVision system for measuring wind wave characteristics with a standard marine navigation X-band radar. We promote the potential of ship navigation X-band radars (when assembled with SeaVision or similar systems) for the development of a new near-global observational network, providing a much larger number of wind wave observations.
We present wind wave parameter data from research cruises in the North Atlantic in 2020 and 2021...
