Article Synopsis
- Extreme sea levels pose risks to life, property, and the environment, and managing these threats relies on understanding the probabilities of extreme events through statistical analysis.
- Traditional methods are limited due to few recorded extreme events and availability only at specific gauged locations, leading to uncertainties in risk mitigation.
- This study introduces a Bayesian hierarchical model that combines tide gauge data to better estimate surge extremes across time and space, improving accuracy and enabling estimations for areas without gauges.
