Abstract:Flood characteristics caused by extreme sea level (ESL) events depend largely on the magnitude of peak water levels (WLs) and their temporal evolution. However, coastal flood risk is generally assessed based on only a limited number of potential peak WLs and a selection of past events or a design hydrograph. We address this gap and systematically estimate (a) spatial annual and (b) event‐based flood probabilities by comprehensively accounting for both a wide range of peak ESLs and their temporal evolution, her… Show more
