Baltic Sea flood maps under the influence of sea-level rise, dike height increases and managed realignment

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 be accessible via the journal webpage):
Kiesel, J., Honsel, L.E., Lorenz, M., Gräwe, U., and Vafeidis, A. T.: Raising dikes and managed realignment may be insufficient for maintaining current flood risk along the German Baltic Sea coast, Communications Earth & Environment, accepted for publication, 2023.

The dataset contains:
- the flood maps containing both the maximum flood extent and maximum inundation depth at every grid cell of the coastal inundation model. The flood maps cover two sea-level rise (1 m and 1.5 m) and three adaptation scenarios (state dikes plus 1.5 m, all dikes plus 1.5 m and potential managed realignment sites including state dikes plus 1.5 m)
- the potential for physically plausible managed realignment sites along the German Baltic Sea coast
- a readme file containing further information on the datasets and related data and publications

For methodological details we refer the reader to the publication cited above and the publication presenting the modelling setup (Kiesel et al., 2023: https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-23-2961-2023). The previously mentioned article provides inundation maps representing the current state of adaptation in terms of dike lines and associated elevations (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7886455). The code to detect the potential physically plausible managed realignment sites is publically available from https://gitlab.com/larsenno/sumare.
