The main objective of the European-funded MICORE project (www.micore.eu) was to develop and demonstrate online tools for the reliable prediction of storm impact on coastlines and to develop and enhance existing civil protection strategies. The magnitude and frequency of storms was analysed at 9 diverse European sites in order to determine storm trends over a period spanning between 30 and 100 yr. Meteorological and marine data available at national and European level are included in the analysis presented in this volume. Results from the coastal regions in this study therefore support the conclusion that there are no significant trends detected in the magnitude or frequency of storms in Europe during the study period.

Abstract
The main objective of the European-funded MICORE project (www.micore.eu) was to develop and demonstrate online tools for the reliable prediction of storm impact on coastlines and to develop and enhance existing civil protection strategies. The magnitude and frequency of storms was analysed at 9 diverse European sites in order to determine storm trends over a period spanning between 30 and 100 yr. Meteorological and marine data available at national and European level are included in the analysis presented in this volume. Results from the coastal regions in this study therefore support the conclusion that there are no significant trends detected in the magnitude or frequency of storms in Europe during the study period.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
