Extreme Total Water Level values for different possible combinations along the Southern Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Northern Marche coastlines

Description: This data set is the result of the calculation of the extreme values of different Total Water Level combinations, including a range of components (Mean Sea Level, Tide, Residual, wave setup, wave runup).  A total of 8 possible combinations:

The database has 3 representative extreme values for each type of frequency of event occurrence (High, Medium, Low).

Each coastal point has the data using 3 slopes: 0.02, 0.03, 0.04. The points have a 0.025º (~2.5 km) distance between each other and 20 m depth.

Data location: The points with the data are located along the Italian coast of Regions: Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Marche. Using the reference system WGS 84 / UTM zone 32N (EPSG:32632).

Fundings: The creation of this dataset was supported by the Autorità di Bacino Distrettuale del Fiume Po in the framework of the project “Approfondimento tecnico-scientifico sui quadri conoscitivi in ambito costiero”, coordinator Prof. P. Ciavola, University of Ferrara.
