Coevolution of Extreme Sea Levels and Sea‐Level Rise Under Global Warming

Earth's Future, 2023
Design of coastal defense structures like seawalls and breakwaters can no longer be based on stationarity assumption. In many parts of the world, an anticipated sea‐level rise (SLR) due to climate change will constitute present‐day extreme sea levels ...

A global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
Protection of coastlines from devastating flooding associated with sea-level extremes is impeded by a lack of continuous records. Here, the authors apply a hydrodynamic modelling approach and present the first reanalysis of tides, surges and extreme sea ...

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.

Changing extreme sea levels along European coasts [PDF]

Coastal Engineering, 2014
Extreme sea levels at European coasts and their changes over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are considered, including a method to analyze extreme sea levels and to assess their changes in a consistent way at different sites. The approach is based on using a combination of statistical tools and dynamical modelling as well as observational data

Characteristics of seasonal changes of the Baltic Sea extreme sea levels

Oceanologia, 2023
This work analyses the monthly spatial distribution of extreme sea levels in the Baltic Sea as well as the relationship of these levels with the NAO and AO indicators.

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 ...

National-Scale Built-Environment Exposure to 100-Year Extreme Sea Levels and Sea-Level Rise [PDF]

Sustainability, 2020
Coastal flooding from extreme sea levels will increase in frequency and magnitude as global climate change forces sea-level rise (SLR). Extreme sea-level events, rare in the recent past (i.e., once per century), are projected to occur at least once per year by 2050 along many of the world’s coastlines.

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 ...

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.

Extreme sea levels on the rise along Europe's coasts

Earth's Future, 2017
Future extreme sea levels (ESLs) and flood risk along European coasts will be strongly impacted by global warming. Yet, comprehensive projections of ESL that include mean sea level (MSL), tides, waves, and storm surges do not exist. Here, we show changes in all components of ESLs until 2100 in view of climate change.
