Extreme sea level variability dominates coastal flood risk changes at decadal time scales

Extreme sea level variability dominates coastal flood risk changes at decadal time scales

Coastal flood risk assessments typically ignore interannual to multidecadal variability stemming from mean sea level, storm surges, and long period tides (i.e. 4.4 year perigean and 18.6 year nodal cycles), although combined these can lead to significant variations in extreme sea levels (ESL). Here,...
