The nonhomogeneous Poisson process is used to model extreme values of the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) significant wave height. The parameters of the model are expressed as functions of the seasonal mean sea level pressure anomaly and seasonal squared sea level pressure gradient index. Using projections of the sea level pressure under three different forcing scenarios by the Canadian coupled climate model, projections of the parameters of the nonhomogeneous Poisson process are made, trends in these projections are determined, return-value estimates of significant wave height up to the end of the twenty-first century are projected, and their uncertainties are assessed. The uncertainty of estimates associated with the nonhomogeneous Poisson process estimates is studied and compared with the homologous estimates obtained using a nonstationary generalized extreme value model.
