TL;DR: It is shown that winter wave energy equalled or exceeded measured historical maxima across the US West Coast, corresponding to anomalously large beach erosion across the region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a total water level full simulation model (TWL-FSM) that simulates various components of TWLs (waves, tides, and nontidal residuals) in a Monte Carlo sense, taking into account conditional dependencies that exist between the various components.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative contribution of tides, waves, and nontidal residuals to extreme total water levels (TWLs) at the shoreline of U.S. West Coast sandy beaches was investigated.

TL;DR: This work integrates a traffic model with flood maps that represent potential combinations of storm surges, tides, seasonal cycles, interannual anomalies driven by large-scale climate variability such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation, and sea level rise to show that metric reach, a measure of road network density, is a better proxy for delays than flood exposure.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the variability of extreme water levels near the tribal community of LaPush, within the Quileute Indian Reservation on the Washington state coast, where a river signal is apparent in tide gauge measurements during high-discharge events.
