The paperdealswiththedirectionalanalysisofseastormsintheAtlanticandPacific Oceansandinthe MediterraneanSea.Themainfocusoftheworkistoinvestigatethevariabilityofwavedirectionsduring sea storms.Theanalysisiscarriedoutstartingfromsignificant waveheightandwavedirectiontime series. Atthe first stagestormsareselectedfromtimeserieswithoutconditionsonwavedirection.
