Topics: Climate change ,

Key Points: We present robust upward trends in European storminess over the past 140 years. The storminess measures show unprecedented high values in recent decades. We show good agreement of the new reanalysis data with established reanalyses.

Produced figures

Trends in the extreme wind speeds in the period 1871-2008 based on reanalysis Trends in the annual 95th percentile of daily maximum wind speeds in the 20th century reanalysis data set (ensemble mean) during the period 1871–2008. The trend is given in the units of the interannual standard deviation and plotted only when significant. The coloured circles indicate trends in the number of 'gale days' (an index that represents the number of extremely windy days) over the period at the specific locations.
