Using multiple approaches, the modulation of climate variability on global ocean waves from 1981 to 2020 is investigated based on a wave hindcast model forced by ERA5 winds. These climate variabilities include: El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), Arctic Oscillation (AO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).

Extreme significant wave height estimates, and their probability of exceedance, are fundamental offshore and coastal engineering design parameters. These estimates are characterised by uncertainty due to an incomplete understanding of the atmosphere-ocean energy and momentum exchanges during intense storms. This particularly affects extreme wave statistics of ocean regions exposed to large and frequent synoptic disturbances such as Extra-Tropical Cyclones (ETCs).
