Global probabilistic projections of extreme sea levels show intensification of coastal flood hazard [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
Extreme sea levels are a flood risk along the world’s coastlines. Here the authors carry out probabilistic projections of extreme sea levels and show that for the present century coastal flood hazards will increase significantly along most of the global ...

Extreme sea levels at selected stations on the Baltic Sea coast** This work was financed by the Polish National Centre for Science research project No. 2011/01/B/ST10/06470.

Oceanologia, 2014
The purpose of this article is to analyse and describe the extreme characteristics of the water levels and illustrate them as the topography of the sea surface along the whole Baltic Sea coast.

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 ...

Reconstructing hourly coastal total sea levels and assessing current and future extreme sea levels threats to the Coast of China [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Climate-driven sea level rise (SLR) will intensify extreme sea level (ESL) events along China’s coast. This study reconstructs continuous hourly total sea level (TSL) by incorporating SLA, tide, storm surge, and wave components, addressing the sparse ...

Storm surges and extreme sea levels: Review, establishment of model intercomparison and coordination of surge climate projection efforts (SurgeMIP).

Weather and Climate Extremes
Coastal flood damage is primarily the result of extreme sea levels. Climate change is expected to drive an increase in these extremes. While proper estimation of changes in storm surges is essential to estimate changes in extreme sea levels, there ...

Characteristics of cyclones causing extreme sea levels in the northern Baltic Sea

Oceanologia, 2014
The basic parameters of extra-tropical cyclones in the northern Baltic are examined in relation to extreme sea level events at Estonian coastal stations between 1948 and 2010.

Numerical Modeling of Extreme Sea Levels on the Laptev Sea Coast

Geosciences
The present study is devoted to the analysis of extreme sea level oscillations of the Laptev Sea using the ADCIRC model. The numerical modeling is performed on a high-resolution grid and verified for sea level observations from three tide gauges. We have

The effects of mean sea level rise and strengthened winds on extreme sea levels in the Baltic Sea

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2018
: Mean sea level rise and climatological wind speed changes occur as part of the ongoing climate change and future projections of both variables are still highly uncertain. Here the Baltic Sea's response in extreme sea levels to perturbations in mean sea

Uncertainties and discrepancies in the representation of recent storm surges in a non-tidal semi-enclosed basin: a hindcast ensemble for the Baltic Sea [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2023
Extreme sea level events, such as storm surges, pose a threat to coastlines around the globe. Many tide gauges have been measuring the sea level and recording these extreme events for decades, some for over a century.

Accounting for seasonality in extreme sea-level estimation [PDF]

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
