Extreme sea levels at selected stations on the Baltic Sea coast
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.

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.

Extreme sea levels along coastal China: uncertainties and implications [PDF]
Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2021 AbstractExtreme sea levels (ESLs) due to typhoon-induced storm surge threaten the societal security of densely populated coastal China. Uncertainty in extreme value analysis (EVA) for ESL estimation has large implications for coastal communities’ adaptation to natural hazards.

Characteristics and Long-Term Variability of Occurrences of Storm Surges in the Baltic Sea
Atmosphere, 2021 Understanding the characteristics of storm surges is especially important in the context of ongoing climate changes, which often lead to catastrophic events in the coastal zones of seas and oceans. For this reason, this paper presents the characteristics

Long-Term Dataset of Tidal Residuals in New South Wales, Australia
Data, 2021 Continuous water level records are required to detect long-term trends and analyse the climatological mechanisms responsible for extreme events. This paper compiles nine ocean water level records from gauges located along the New South Wales (NSW) coast ...

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
