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 ...

Evidence for Increasing Frequency of Extreme Coastal Sea Levels
Frontiers in Climate, 2022 Projections of extreme sea levels (ESLs) are critical for managing coastal risks, but are made complicated by deep uncertainties. One key uncertainty is the choice of model structure used to estimate coastal hazards.

Should Swedish sea level planners worry more about mean sea level rise or sea level extremes?
Ambio, 2022 AbstractCurrent coastal spatial planning in Sweden uses simple methods to account for how flood risks increase owing to sea level rise. Those methods, however, fail to account for several important aspects of sea level rise, such as: projection uncertainty, emission scenario uncertainty and time dependence. Here, enhanced methods that account for these

Popular extreme sea level metrics can better communicate impacts [PDF]
Climatic Change, 2021 Abstract Estimates of changes in the frequency or height of contemporary extreme sea levels (ESLs) under various climate change scenarios are often used by climate and sea level scientists to help communicate the physical basis for societal concern regarding sea level rise.

An 11-year validation of wave-surge modelling in the Irish Sea, using a nested POLCOMS-WAM modelling system [PDF]
, 2010 In the future it is believed that extreme coastal flooding events will increase (in frequency and intensity) as a result of climate change. We are investigating the flood risks in the eastern Irish Sea posed by extreme storm events.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Due to their choked geometry, coastal lagoons can attenuate extreme water levels compared to the open sea. However, this protective property is expected to decrease due to sea‐level rise. By studying idealized lagoons in a non‐dimensional parameter space,

A Mediterranean coastal database for assessing the impacts of sea-level rise and associated hazards [PDF]
, 2018 We have developed a new coastal database for the Mediterranean basin that is intended for coastal impact and adaptation assessment to sea-level rise and associated hazards on a regional scale.

Projected 21st Century Sea-Level Changes, Observed Sea Level Extremes, and Sea Level Allowances for Norway [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2017 Changes to mean sea level and/or sea level extremes (e.g., storm surges) will lead to changes in coastal impacts. These changes represent a changing exposure or risk to our society. Here, we present 21st century sea-level projections for Norway largely based on the Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC AR5 ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In the Mediterranean Sea, coastal extreme sea levels are mainly caused by storm surges driven by atmospheric pressure and surface winds from extratropical cyclones.
