Coastal flood maps and extreme sea levels for the German Baltic Sea coast

The provided data was produced as part of the Ecas-Baltic project (2020 - 2023). The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany (BMBF, funding code 03F0860H).

The dataset contains information supporting the conclusions presented in the following publication (the final, revised version of the article will also be accessible via the preprint given below):

Kiesel, J., Lorenz, M., König, M., Gräwe, U., and Vafeidis, A. T.: A new modelling framework for regional
assessment of extreme sea levels and associated coastal flooding along the German Baltic Sea coast,
Nat. Hazards Earth Syst. Sci. Discuss. [preprint], https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-2022-275, in review, 2023.

The dataset contains:

- the location and names of flood boundary stations

- the boundary conditions provided by the coastal ocean model at each of the flood boundary stations for all storm surge events simulated in the study cited above

- the flood maps containing both the maximum flood extent and maximum inundation depth at every grid cell of the coastal inundation model

- the spatially explicit results of the extreme value analysis for every grid cell in the coastal ocean model

- the modelled monthly peak water levels between 1961 and 2018 for every grid cell of the coastal ocean model

- the modelled timeseries of water levels during the storm surge from January 2nd 2019 and the entire hindcast period (1961-2018) for all tide gauges along the German Baltic Sea coast
