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.

Accounting for seasonality in extreme sea-level estimation
The Annals of Applied Statistics, 2023 Reliable estimates of sea level return levels are crucial for coastal flooding risk assessments and for coastal flood defence design. We describe a novel method for estimating extreme sea levels that is the first to capture seasonality, interannual variations and longer term changes. We use a joint probabilities method, with skew surge and peak tide as

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

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 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.

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 ...

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.

Should Swedish sea level planners worry more about mean sea level rise or sea level extremes?
Ambio, 2022 AbstractCurrent coastal spatial planning in Sweden uses simple methods to account for how flood risks increase owing to sea level rise. Those methods, however, fail to account for several important aspects of sea level rise, such as: projection uncertainty, emission scenario uncertainty and time dependence. Here, enhanced methods that account for these

Evaluation of sea level rise and associated responses in Hangzhou Bay from 1978 to 2017
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2018 The mean sea level, extreme sea level, and astronomical tide in Hangzhou Bay were analyzed using the tide gage data from 1978 to 2017 in Tanxu station, and the effects of rising sea levels on floods were estimated.

Changes in extreme regional sea level under global warming [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2017 An important contribution to future changes in regional sea level extremes is due to the changes in intrinsic ocean variability, in particular ocean eddies.
