Flood hazard - baseline (1981-2010)

Flood hazard: areas prone to flood events with 100-year return period. Source: GFDRR (https://data.amerigeoss.org/dataset/ss-global-muis-10) These datasets present the first global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels (GTSR data set) based on hydrodynamic modelling. GTSR covers the entire world’s coastline and consists of time series of tides and surges, and estimates of extreme sea levels. Validation shows that there is good agreement between modelled and observed sea levels, and that the performance of GTSR is similar to that of many regional hydrodynamic models.
