Storm surge on coastline - 500 Years return period
The storm surge hazard map indicates the mean run-up height on the coast for seven return periods. The return periods is 500 years. The map has coastal coverage with points in the countries with storm surge hazard.

Storm surge hazard is modeled only along the coastline. The process involves generating a grid along the coastline and 5km inland. In fact, no backwater effects were modeled, this is only due to the continent's contour map (shapefile) version used to create the grid mentioned on the coastline.

In this project Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones were not included in the hazard assessment process. We considered only tropical cyclones as storms that develop in areas of low pressure over tropical oceans, and that are associated with several hazards such as strong winds and storm surge. These two hazards were assessed at a global level but given that although tropical cyclones are formed along the North Atlantic Ocean but do not occur in Europe, neither strong wings nor storm surge were modeled for European countries.

Storm surge on coastline CC - 10 Years return period
The storm surge hazard map indicates the mean run-up height on the coast for seven return periods. The return periods is 10 years. The map has coastal coverage with points in the countries with storm surge hazard.

Storm surge hazard is modeled only along the coastline. The process involves generating a grid along the coastline and 5km inland. In fact, no backwater effects were modeled, this is only due to the continent's contour map (shapefile) version used to create the grid mentioned on the coastline.

The tropical cyclone events used for the elaboration of this map consider climate change based on models representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios.

Surface Downwelling Shortwave Radiation
Incoming solar radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface from the sun, including both direct and diffuse components.
In solar-terrestrial terms, shortwave radiation is a term used to describe the radiant energy emitted by the sun in the visible and near-ultraviolet wavelengths (between about 0.1 and 2 micrometers).
