报告简介

The regional projected changes in winds combined with sea level rise and land rise challenge our present knowledge of extreme storm surges in the Danish coastal area. In particular, the source of the uncertainty is difficult to trace back in the long climate simulations. In ‘Climate Atlas’, a new national climate service initiative, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) will investigate changes in the extreme statistics of sea-level in the 21st century. The study will make use of multi- scenarios, multi-models and multi-parameters approach to focus on the uncertainty of the projected change in extreme statistics of sea level. RCP4.5 and 8.5 are the two IPCC scenarios to be used in this study. We take the atmospheric forcing from 24 members of CORDEX (Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment) RCM (Regional Climate Models) simulations. We will select some RCM members as the forcing to drive a high-resolution storm surge model for the North Sea and Baltic Sea area. In parallel, operational model at DMI will be evaluated against other ocean models in the Baltic Sea area in the hindcast period. This way we are able to trace back the source of the uncertainties in the simulations. Of course, the uncertainty estimates will be combined with a thorough evaluation of global sea-level changes and their imprint on the North Western European Shelf Seas. The evaluation of the uncertainties will be taken into account in the municipal planning about climate variability and change, impacts, and response options. An authoritative source of quality climate information is important for the Danish Municipalities to ensure coherent and timely adaptation measures. Main priorities of our geographical area are extreme precipitation and storm surges.
