The max inundation level depends on the superposition of
a) still water level, b) tide c) surge and waves runups .

We usually think that Climate change is responsible for increasing mean temperature.
However recently (SOURCE : I. R. Young*, S. Zieger, and A. V. Babanin , (2011), Global Trends in Wind Speed and Wave Height , Science ,Vol. 332 ,no. 6028 , pp. 451-455) , it has been documented that climatic change is also responsible for increasing extreme wind speed.

Climate change increases extreme wind speed,so that:
• Higher wind speed increases storm surge , i.e. elevation of sea water level
• Higher wind speed increases the height of surface gravity waves , i.e. increases Run-up elevation
![Page 6: COASTANCE Komotini 27 March 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681658f550346895dd85d9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
For the Mediterranean Sea , where astronomical tide is small ( about ±20 cm ) , extreme flood potential of coastal areas
depends on the superposition of the following three factors which are exposed to climatic change :
• Storm surge (climatic factor: increase of wind speed extreme)
• Large Wave run-up ( climatic factor : increase of wave height which depends on the wind speed extreme)
• Mean sea level rise (MSLR) ( climatic factor : temperature increase )

Worst-case scenario for Mean Sea level rise in 2100 (end of century) :
Global model : sea water level is projected to rise by 59 to 88 cm , but with significant regional
variations IT IS WRONG TO ASSUME THE IPCC PREDICTION
TO MEDITERRANEAN SEA Mediterranean Sea (downscale model) : sea
water level rise by 35 cm ( i.e. half for the value given for global sea water level rise)

Storm Surge The storm surge is an increase in the water level that is pushed
towards the shore by the force of the winds.
Worst-case scenario in 2100 (end of century) :
• Storm surge increase about 65 to 95 cm for the 100-year return period at Alexandroupolis port at North Aegean,see Tsimplis at al (2009).
• The climatic change will increase this value, but on the basis of the available data, is not possible to quantify the increase .

At the end of century in REMTH :
A combination of storm surge and sea level rise can raise the sea water level (SWL) by
an additional 1.39 to 1.88 meters.

WAVE RUN UP MODELLING USING CEDAS OR OTHER EMPIRICAL MODELS
• The available empirical equations to calculate wave run up assume a single, planar beach slope extending inland , an assumption which in practice is often violated either due to physical causes ( i.e. erosion which produces an abrupt front ) or due to human interventions ( construction of roads, structures etc).

Erosion produces an abrupt front which modifies the inshore movement of wave run up (photo : Kariani, REMTH)-The elevation
of the front is about 3 m.The prediction for the max elevation of the wave runups(2%) for the extreme flood scenario at the end of
century is about 5 m.

Flood Hazard Maps of Pilot Site
The existing methodology (CEDAS, Stockdon Equation etc) :
• gives a conservative maximum “ instantaneous “ inundation level
• can not predict the distribution and the residence time of water depth above the flooded land
• identifies roughly the near shore land which has potential for flooding , keeping in mind that the empirical equations (including Cedas) overpredict considerably the horizontal distance inland of flooding due to wave runup .
![Page 28: COASTANCE Komotini 27 March 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681658f550346895dd85d9a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The coastal flooding modelling of pilot site (REMTH, Kariani ) shows that disastrous events are expected at the end of century due to climatic change.

The Flood Hazard Maps of Pilot Site contribute :•to the delivery of useful warnings to coastal communities and decision makers for the impacts of climate change risk•to inform on the need for further research on climate change• to advocate the need for advanced 3D numerical modelling and understanding of wave run up in real topography .•Initiate sea level rise adaptation measures to reduce the region’s vulnerability to sea water level and storm rise .
