Coastal planning implies the estimation of extreme sea levels. As distribution astronomical high tides can be predicted, most recent publications suggest focusing on skew surges. Historical information, record levels observed before beginning systematic tide gauge recordings, improve estimations. The corresponding surges estimated but are not necessarily exhaustive. Indeed, some historical rema...

Water-related disasters, such as fluvial floods and cyclonic storm surges, are a major concern in the world’s mega-delta regions. Furthermore, the simultaneous occurrence of extreme discharges from rivers and storm surges could exacerbate flood risk, compared to when they occur separately. Hence, it is of great importance to assess the compound risks of fluvial and coastal floods at a large sca...

Observed extreme sea levels are caused by a combination of astronomical tide and storm surge, or an value in one these variables moderate the other. We analyzed measurements from Norwegian gauge network together with track data to assess cases level surges. At most stations highest surges only coincided tides vice versa . Simultaneously often intensities. This opens for possibility flooding eve...

We appreciate the opportunity to discuss our definition of events of Katrina magnitude. Kennedy et al. (1) argue that our definition of Katrina magnitude events (2) is too low because we do not use any tide gauge data in the immediate proximity of New Orleans and the region of absolute maximal surge height. We note that hurricane best track records (3) for Katrina magnitude events show a ~20-y ...

Abstract. The Kapuas River delta is a unique estuary system on the western coast of island Borneo, Indonesia. Its hydrodynamics are driven by an interplay between storm surges, tides, and river discharges. These interactions likely to be exacerbated global warming, leading more frequent compound flooding in area. mechanisms driving events remain, however, poorly known. Here we attempt fill this...

The massive green tide blooms caused by macroalgae Ulva in the Southern Yellow Sea, China, threaten local fish populations. However, tides are not factored into determination of sustainable fisheries targets, which hinders achievement maximum yield (MSY). Using a fishery as case study we highlighted need to redefine MSY-based targets face tides. We modeled natural mortality events and evaluated...
