Mean and extreme sea-level projections
The objective of WP3 is to improve the scientific knowledge and projections of coastal hazard drivers to provide more advanced marine dynamics datasets than available in the Fast-Track. To this end, WP3 collects and develops new high-resolution datasets of mean and extreme past and projected sea-level changes and delivers upgraded and authoritative datasets to be used as boundary conditions for the coastal flood and erosion models applied in WP4. Cross-cutting aspects, including uncertainty assessment, detection and attribution, downscaling methods and extreme value analysis are addressed in a horizontal manner in all WP3 tasks.
Objectives
1 To identify gaps and potential improvements in climate datasets considering the stakeholders’ needs identified in WP1
2 To develop improved medium- and high-resolution regional mean sea-level hindcast and projections
3 To develop pan-European high-resolution storm surge and wave hindcast and projections
4 To produce integrated flood and erosion hazard drivers, including compound events, following the Integrated Scenarios, to be used in WP4 coastal impacts models and the Full-Track web-platform
