Spatial modelling of extreme sea‐levels

Environmetrics, 1998
The problem of estimating the probability of extreme sea-levels along a coastline has received little attention. Most of the existing analyses are univariate approaches that are applied independently to data from individual sites. We present a spatial extension of the methods that integrates information from the data sites and exploits knowledge of the

Evidence for Century-Timescale Acceleration in Mean Sea Levels and for Recent Changes in Extreme Sea Levels [PDF]

Surveys in Geophysics, 2011
Two of the most important topics in Sea Level Science are addressed in this paper. One is concerned with the evidence for the apparent acceleration in the rate of global sea level change between the 19th and 20th centuries and, thereby, with the question

Statistical analysis of extreme sea levels in the Red Sea

Ocean Engineering
Coastal areas frequently experience high-sea-level events that can cause property damage and loss of life. From a coastal engineering perspective, accurately estimating the probability of extreme sea levels is crucial for designing robust coastal ...

Estimating Probabilities of Extreme Sea-Levels

Applied Statistics, 1992
Summary: A key problem in the design of sea defence is the estimation of quantiles of the distribution of annual maximum hourly sea-levels. Traditional statistical analyses fail to exploit the considerable knowledge of the astronomical tidal component of the sea; consequently the corresponding results are higly site specific. Using results from extreme

Estimation of Extreme Sea Levels for Neighboring Seas of Korea

Coastal Engineering Journal, 2002
With a numerical model of Northwestern Pacific region, the water movements associated with real time tides and actual storms were reproduced. Making use of reasonably representative model simulations together with data derived from the coastal observations can lead to the required estimates of extreme conditions for the purpose of coastal defense and ...

Extreme Oscillations of the Sea Level in the Laptev Sea

1999
Based on an analysis of monitoring data from coastal polar stations, the character of sea-level oscillations in the Laptev Sea is analysed. In addition, sea-level variability and regions displaying a similar character of sea-level oscillations are identified.

Estimating future sea level extremes under conditions of sea level rise

Coastal Engineering, 1990
Abstract Standard techniques of extreme event analysis involve making the assumption that future annual maxima can be approximated as independent random variables from a common distribution. This approach is not applicable to the investigation of future extreme sea levels, given the possibility of greenhouse-related sea level rise.

Estimating contribution of high-frequency sea-level oscillations to the extreme sea levels in the Adriatic Sea

2021
<p>Extreme sea levels are known to hit the Adriatic Sea and to occasionally cause floods that produce severe material damage. Whereas the contribution of longer-period (T > 2 h) sea-level oscillations to the phenomena has been well researched, the contribution of the shorter period (T < 2 h) oscillations is yet ...

Extreme Sea Levels in Venice

1997
By making use of the annual maxima and pot methodologies, EV and GP models are fitted to measurements of the sea level where some of the most common estimators of the shape parameter are employed. The results and some applications are compared, thereby permitting us to validate the relation: GP = 1 + log(EV).

Simulated extreme sea levels at Helsinki

2017
We present an assessment of the exceedance probabilities of sea levels at Helsinki, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, based on an 850-year numerical sea-level simulation. The internal sea-level variations in the Baltic Sea are calculated with a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model, whereas the variations in the Baltic Sea water ...
