Storm surge on coastline - 1000 Years
The storm surge hazard map indicates the mean run-up height on the coast for seven return periods. The return periods is 1000 years. The map has coastal coverage with points in the countries with storm surge hazard.

Storm surge hazard is modeled only along the coastline. The process involves generating a grid along the coastline and 5km inland. In fact, no backwater effects were modeled, this is only due to the continent's contour map (shapefile) version used to create the grid mentioned on the coastline.

In this project Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones were not included in the hazard assessment process. We considered only tropical cyclones as storms that develop in areas of low pressure over tropical oceans, and that are associated with several hazards such as strong winds and storm surge. These two hazards were assessed at a global level but given that although tropical cyclones are formed along the North Atlantic Ocean but do not occur in Europe, neither strong wings nor storm surge were modeled for European countries.
