In ccb60/SLRSIM: Tools to Analyse Sea Level Rise

Description

SLRSIM offers tools to facilitate analysis of recent sea level rise trends and forecasting of future flood frequency under user-specified sea level rise scenarios. The package includes tools to access NOAA tide gauge data, examine long-term trends in sea level rise, compare recent sea level rise to previous periods in the data record, and forecast future flood frequency based on historical data.

Details

The Package originated in code developed for the 2020/2021 State of Casco Bay Report. In response to requests from colleagues, I first extended our analysis to a couple of other NOAA tide stations, and then developed this package to capture key ideas and code for reuse.

The intent was to offer a collection of tools to facilitate rapid preparation of historical analyses and forecasts principally to facilitate communication about sea level rise to policy makers and the public.

Since I first began working on the package, NOAA has begun to release related analyses for many NOAA stations, so the need for the package is less pressing (when workiong with NOAA data), but this package offers the user fine-grained control not available from the prepared analyses offered by NOAA.
