With its long coastline, diverse natural environment, vibrant economy and high population density, the county is particularly exposed to the impacts of climate change. Powered byEsri Rain and flooding Climate change is raising the Earth's temperature, which in turn is leading to greater rainfall an...
The percent change indicates a change of PFEs in the twenty-first century against the NOAA Atlas 14. The percent change is calculated by sub-district in each county. The return period is a converted return period of 1-in-100-year PFEs defined in the NOAA Atlas, based on the new PFEs8,...
Here we conduct climatology–hydrodynamic modeling to quantify the effects of sea level rise (SLR) and TC climatology change (under RCP 8.5) on late 21st century flood hazards at the county level along the US Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. We find that, under the compound effects of SLR and TC...
