It카지노 게임 컬렉션™s flooding more than we know

Sea-level rise is increasing coastal flood exposure globally. Estimates of coastal flood frequency, particularly floods that occur outside of extreme events, are often based on tide gauge data. However, tide gauges are not intended to capture all sources of flooding, and they are geographically sparse. As a result, current tide gauge-based proxies for coastal flood frequency may not accurately reflect the experience of coastal residents. Here, we present results from an ongoing interdisciplinary project aimed at measuring the incidence and impacts of chronic coastal flooding. First, we describe flood frequency data from a new sensor network that measures the incidence of flooding from all sources, deployed in communities across North Carolina since 2021. Second, we present hyperlocal modeling to diagnose flood drivers. Lastly, we present results from a set of household surveys characterizing disruptions from chronic coastal flooding to daily life. Overall, our results demonstrate that many coastal residents are already experiencing harmful impacts from sea level rise and the frequency of such disruptions is much higher than previously thought.
