Strength and Variability of the Adriatic Sea Level Extremes in Present and Future Climates (StVar-Adri)

Within the project StVar-Adri we aim to estimate contribution of selected components of extreme sea levels to present-day and future-day floods.

To accomplish this goal, we will focus on: (i) cataloguing the strongest known events; (ii) estimating contribution of individual processes to extreme sea levels using statistical tools and numerical modelling, (iii) linking extreme sea levels to atmospheric processes, and (iv) assessing future strength and variability of extreme sea levels using outputs of Regional Climate Models (RCMs).
