Monitoring individual wave characteristics in the inner surf with a 2-Dimensional laser scanner (LiDAR)
This paper presents an investigation into the use of a 2-dimensional laser scanner (LiDAR) to obtain measurements of wave processes in the inner surf and swash zones of a microtidal beach (Rousty…
Estimation des niveaux marins extrêmes avec et sans l’action des vagues le long du littoral métropolitain
Pour caractériser le risque de submersion marine, il est très important d'avoir une connaissance précise des lois de distribution des niveaux d'eau marins, et plus particulièrement des niveaux d'…
Regional circulation around New Caledonia from two decades of observations
The regional and near-coastal circulation around New Caledonia is investigated using a compilation of more than 20 years of observations. Velocity profiles acquired by Shipboard Acoustic Doppler…
How historical information can improve estimation and prediction of extreme coastal water levels: application to the Xynthia event at La Rochelle (France)
The knowledge of extreme coastal water levels is useful for coastal flooding studies or the design of coastal defences. While deriving such extremes with standard analyses using tide-gauge…
The contribution of short-waves in storm surges: Two case studies in the Bay of Biscay
This study investigates the contributions of short waves in storm surges through the hindcast of two storms that hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay recently. Despite displaying comparable…
Tidal notches in Mediterranean Sea: a comprehensive analysis
Recent works (Evelpidou et al., 2012) suggest that the modern tidal notch is disappearing worldwide due sea level rise over the last century. In order to assess this hypothesis, we measured modern…
Towards a global higher-frequency sea level dataset
This paper describes the assembly of an updated quasi-global dataset of higher-frequency sea level information obtained from tide gauges operated by many agencies around the world. We believe that…
Hyper-resolution mapping of regional storm surge and tide flooding: comparison of static and dynamic models
Storm tide (combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide) flooding is a natural hazard with significant global social and economic consequences. For this reason, government agencies and…
Hail observations and hailstorm characteristics in Europe: a review
Severe thunderstorms associated with large hail are among the most important perils in several European regions. Due to the local-scale extent of hail-affected areas and a lack of appropriate…
The key role of vertical land motions in coastal sea level variations: A global synthesis of multisatellite altimetry, tide gauge data and GPS measurements
This study aims to quantify the vertical motions driving the decadal coastline mobility and their uncertainty at global scale. Multisatellite altimetry is combined with tide gauges and Global…
