Return levels of Medicane-induced waves and coastal sea surface elevation for 10 and 100 year return periods.

Description

We provide return level data used for the assessement coastal hazards of Medicanes in the upcoming article "Coastal hazards of tropical-like cyclones over the Mediterranean Sea".

For both significant wave height at 20m depth and coastal sea surface elevation, return levels are provided at 10 year (RLs_10year.mat) and 100 year (RLs_100year.mat) return periods. Each .mat file, contains the following variables:

- latitude/longitude: coastal point for the Mediterranean basin and islands within it; Dim = [7784,1]

- elev_Rea, Hs_Rea: return levels computed for the present climate; Dim = [7784,1]

- elev_Hist, elev_Rcp85, Hs_Hist, Hs_Rcp85: return levels computed for the historical asnd projected climate (from the 20 GCMs model used, see article); Dim = [7784,20]
