Sea level extremes at the coasts of China [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014 Hourly sea level records from 1954 to 2012 at 20 tide gauges at and adjacent to the Chinese coasts are used to analyze extremes in sea level and in tidal residual. Tides and tropical cyclones determine the spatial distribution of sea level maxima. Tidal residual maxima are predominantly determined by tropical cyclones. The 50 year return level is found

Atmospheric circulation changes and their impact on extreme sea levels around Australia [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Projections of sea level rise (SLR) will lead to increasing coastal impacts during extreme sea level events globally; however, there is significant uncertainty around short-term coastal sea level variability and the attendant frequency and severity of ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 A North Sea storm surge during 31 January-1 February 1953 caused Northwest Europe’s most severe coastal flood in living memory. This event killed more than 2,000 people on the coasts of England, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Urban Science, 2023 Coastal flood risk and sea-level rise require decisions on investment in coastal protection and, in some cases, the relocation of urban areas. Models that formalize the relations between flooding costs, protective investments, and relocation can improve ...

A spatially-dependent synthetic global dataset of extreme sea level events
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2023 Current coastal flood risk assessments fail to capture flood spatial dependence at large scales. In this paper, we develop the first global synthetic dataset of spatially-dependent extreme sea level events, by applying an existing conditional ...

A global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractExtreme sea levels, caused by storm surges and high tides, can have devastating societal impacts. To effectively protect our coasts, global information on coastal flooding is needed. Here we present the first global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels (GTSR data set) based on hydrodynamic modelling.

Changes in Sea Level along the South China Sea Coast Based on the Homogenized Tide Gauge Data
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringTo estimate the changes in the annual mean sea level (MSL) and extreme sea levels (ESLs), the largest collection of tide gauge records from 10 tidal stations along the northern coast of the South China Sea (SCS) were analyzed in this study. Here, all the

Analysis on the Extreme Sea Levels Changes along the Coastline of Bohai Sea, China
Atmosphere, 2018 Using hourly sea level data from four tide gauges, the changes of the extreme sea level in the Bohai Sea were analyzed in this work. Three components (i.e., mean sea level, tide and surge) as well as the tide–surge interaction were studied to find ...
