Vanuatu historical and projected water levels Extreme Value Analysis (EVA)

This collection contains one netCDF file and one Geopackage file of extreme value water level statistics computed from the SCHSIM-WWMIII Vanuatu hindcast (https://doi.org/10.25919/gqdd-jc07) and NextGen Pacific sea level rise projections (https://doi.org/10.25919/hexz-1r10) as part of the VanKIRAP project.

For 2331 coastal points around Vanuatu, the following variables are provided:
- latitude
- longitude
- node index
- depth
- 117 extreme value statistics variables as follows:

Extreme value statistics: 10 year (from SCHISM-WWMIII hindcast), 50 and 100 year (from SLR projections) return interval water levels, with lower and upper bounds for confidence intervals for each, for "baseline" (1980-2020), and future 20 year time slices (centred on 2030, 2050, 2070 and 2090) under low, mid and high-end emissions scenarios RCP2.5, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 respectively.

All total water level (TWL) variables in this dataset are referenced to a vertical datum reference of mean sea level (MSL), defined by Noumea and Port Vila tide gauge observations for years 1990-1996 (a period of relatively low ENSO variability).
