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 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

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.

Extreme Sea Levels on the Coast of California [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 During the winter of 1982-1983, a combination of high tides, higher than normal sea level and storm-induced waves were devastating to the coast of California. Damage estimates for public and private property destruction in the coastal counties of California total over $100,000,000.

Simulating wind-driven extreme sea levels: Sensitivity to wind speed and direction
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022 Extreme sea levels and coastal flooding can cause devastating socio-economic damages and even loss of lives. Robust and timely risk mitigation requires knowledge of recurrence frequencies, but such estimates are riddled with uncertainties, especially ...

Analysis of the eastern Adriatic sea level extremes
ST-OPEN, 2021 <p>The Adriatic Sea is known to be under a high flooding risk due to both storm surges and meteorological tsunamis, with the latter defined as short-period sea-level oscillations alike to tsunamis but generated by atmospheric processes. In June 2017, a tide-gauge station with a 1-min sampling resolution has been installed at Stari Grad ...

Sea-level extremes of meteorological origin in the Red Sea
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022 Severe weather events and the resulting sea-level extremes are considered among the greatest threats to coastal environments. Understanding this coastal hazard is vital for various coastal developments and planning activities. This study examines the sea-level extremes of meteorological origin in the Red Sea.

National assessment of extreme sea-level driven inundation under rising sea levels
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Episodic inundation from extreme sea-levels (ESLs) will have increasing social and economic impacts in response to relative sea level rise (RSLR). Despite the improved global understanding of ESL frequencies and magnitudes, detailed nationwide inundation

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.
