Spatial and temporal analysis of extreme storm-tide and skew-surge events around the coastline of New Zealand [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Coastal flooding is a major global hazard, yet few studies have examined the spatial and temporal characteristics of extreme sea level and associated coastal flooding.

Sea level extremes in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014
AbstractSea level extremes in the Caribbean Sea are analyzed on the basis of hourly records from 13 tide gauges. The largest sea level extreme observed is 83 cm at Port Spain. The largest nontidal residual in the records is 76 cm, forced by a category 5 hurricane. Storm surges in the Caribbean are primarily caused by tropical storms and stationary cold

Climate Change Implications Found in Winter Extreme Sea Level Height Records around Korea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
The impact of climatic variability in atmospheric conditions on coastal environments accompanies adjustments in both the frequency and intensity of coastal storm surge events.

Sea level extremes in southern Europe [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2009
Knowledge of sea level extremes is important for coastal planning purposes. Temporal changes in the extremes may indicate changes in the forcing parameters, most probably the storm surges. Sea level extremes and their spatial and temporal variability in southern Europe are explored on the basis of 73 tide gauge records from 1940.

Extreme Sea Levels on the Coast of California [PDF]

Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984
During the winter of 1982-1983, a combination of high tides, higher than normal sea level and storm-induced waves were devastating to the coast of California. Damage estimates for public and private property destruction in the coastal counties of California total over $100,000,000.

Extreme sea levels at different global warming levels [PDF]

Nature Climate Change, 2021
AbstractThe Paris agreement focused global climate mitigation policy on limiting global warming to 1.5 or 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Consequently, projections of hazards and risk are increasingly framed in terms of global warming levels rather than emission scenarios.

The Framework for Assessing Changes To Sea-level (FACTS) v1.0: a platform for characterizing parametric and structural uncertainty in future global, relative, and extreme sea-level change [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2023
Future sea-level rise projections are characterized by both quantifiable uncertainty and unquantifiable structural uncertainty. Thorough scientific assessment of sea-level rise projections requires analysis of both dimensions of uncertainty ...

Analysis of the eastern Adriatic sea level extremes

ST-OPEN, 2021
<p>The Adriatic Sea is known to be under a high flooding risk due to both storm surges and meteorological tsunamis, with the latter defined as short-period sea-level oscillations alike to tsunamis but generated by atmospheric processes. In June 2017, a tide-gauge station with a 1-min sampling resolution has been installed at Stari Grad ...

Analysis of storm surge events along the Norwegian coast

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Observed extreme sea levels are caused by a combination of extreme astronomical tide and extreme storm surge, or by an extreme value in one of these variables and a moderate value in the other.

Changes in extreme sea-levels in the Baltic Sea [PDF]

Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2014
In a climate change context, changes in extreme sea-levels rather than changes in the mean are of particular interest from the coastal protection point of view. In this work, extreme sea-levels in the Baltic Sea are investigated based on daily tide gauge records for the period 1916–2005 using the annual block maxima approach.
