Abstract
Tebaldi, C., Ranasinghe, R., Vousdoukas, M. et al. Extreme sea levels at different global warming levels. Nat. Clim. Chang. 11, 746–751 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-021-01127-1 (as shown in Fig. 1 b,d,f and Fig. 2 top panel for 7,283 locations).
Global warming levels reached by 2100 causing a present-day 100-year extreme sea level event to become at least an annual event (for central value and low and upper bounds), and extended mean value of the difference between current 100-yr and the 1-yr events.
The numbers from 1 to 9 along the 3rd, 4th and 5th columns correspond to the warming levels in the legend of Figure 1: 1.5, 2, 2+, 3, 4, 5, none (The + sign associated with 2 and 5 °C indicates projections that include SEJ-derived estimates of ice-sheet contribution to RSLC.)
