Interactions between mean sea level, tide, surge, waves and flooding: mechanisms and contributions to sea level variations at the coast
Coastal areas epitomize the notion of 'at-risk'territory in the context of climate change and
sea level rise (SLR). Knowledge of the water level changes at the coast resulting from the …

The contribution of wind-generated waves to coastal sea-level changes
Surface gravity waves generated by winds are ubiquitous on our oceans and play a
primordial role in the dynamics of the ocean–land–atmosphere interfaces. In particular, wind …
