【 摘 要 】

Design-flood elevations with associated exceedance probabilities are often determined for coastal projects.Rising sea level introduces another design consideration that needs to be combined with the design-flood level.However, most sea level projections do not have exceedance probabilities that can be used in conjunction with the design flood to obtain total flood elevations with exceedance probabilities.This paper shows how to combine design-flood elevations with sea level rise projections that have exceedance probabilities, such as those of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (Bindoff et al 2007) or Houston (2012a), to obtain total elevations at desired exceedance probabilities over particular intervals.
