Contributions from sea level variability changes to extreme sea level projections in western Europe

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: Zip file containing the dataset of projected contributions from different sea level variability drivers - dynamic sea levels, seasonal cycle, tides and storm surges - to future changes in extreme still water levels at the coasts of western Europe, for 2 SSPs (SSP1-2.6, SSP5-8.5) and 4 downscaled CMIP6 GCMs (CNRM-CM6-1-HR, CNRM-CM6-1, MPI-ESM1-2-HR and EC-Earth3). The projections have been downscaled using a regional 3D NEMO ocean model. Please check the corresponding manuscript for further details. scripts/ : plot_paperFigures.py: Plot main paper results (Figures 5,7,8) DC0.py: Frequency-based decomposition of timeseries to extract different sea-level components distr_evol.py: Quantile-mapping to detect temporal changes in each extracted component DC0_noCC.py: same as DC0.py, but removing for each extracted component their temporal changes (see paper for more details) data/ : (all these datasets contain data individually for each downscaled GCM and scenario) CC_DYN_TS_RCM.nc: Projected ESWL changes using the dynamic approach CC_STAT_SS_RCM.nc: Projected ESWL changes using the static approach (i.e. only long-term SLR). xr_SL.nc: same as CC_STAT_SS_RCM.nc but also containing changes in the location parameter (not used in paper) xr_odat_FE.nc: Projected ESWL changes using the dynamic approach when removing temporal changes in individual components
