SLR_Scenarios: Sea level rise scenarios

In rjaneUCF/MultiHazard: Tools for modeling compound events

Sea level rise scenarios

Description

Time (in years) for a specified change in sea level according to various sea level projections. Contained within the function are: (1) the three scenarios for Key West in the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, (2) those for Miami Beach in "Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States" NOAA et al. (2017) and (3) those in the Interagency Sea Level Rise Scenario Tool (NOAA et al. 2022) for Naples and Miami Beach. Users can also input scenarios of their choice.

Usage

SLR_Scenarios(
  SeaLevelRise,
  Scenario = "Compact",
  Unit = "m",
  Year = 2022,
  Location = "Key West",
  New_Scenario = NA
)

Arguments

SeaLevelRise	Numeric vector of length one, specifying the sea level rise required.
Scenario	Character vector of length one, specifying the sea level rise scenarios to be adopted. Options are "Compact" for those for Key West in the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, "NOAA2017" for those in "Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States" at Miami Beach used in Jane et al. (2020), "NOAA2022" for those for Miami Beach and Naples in the Interagency Sea Level Rise Scenario Tool, or NA if a set of scenarios are specified by the user (see New_Scenario).
Unit	Character vector of length one, specifying units of SeaLevelRise. Options are meters m and Inches "Inches". Default is "m".
Year	Numeric vector of length one, specifying the current year. Default is 2022.
Location	Character vector of length one, specifying the location associated with the scenarios. Projections for "Key West" (Compact), "Miami Beach" (NOAA2017 AND NOAA2022) and "Naples" (NOAA2022) are contained within the package. If a user specified scenarios are employed, set to the name of the site. Default is "Key West".
New_Scenario	Dataframe containing sea level rise scenarios. First column must be a year and the scenarios provided in the remaining columns. For the color scale to correlate with the severity of the scenarios they should be listed from most to least severe i.e., the highest SLR scenario should appear in column 2. All entries must be numeric.

Value

For "Compact", "NOAA2017" and "NOAA2022" a list length of time for SeaLevelRise of sea level rise is expected to arise under the High, Intermediate and Low. For user specified scenarios, the time for SeaLevelRise to occur under each is returned as SLR_Year. Upper panel: A plot of the scenarios. Scenarios are in bold until the time the SeaLevelRise is reached and are transparent thereafter. Lower panel: A plot showing the number of years before is expected to occur.

Examples

#Calculate the estimated time required for 0.45m of SLR in Key West according to the scenarios
in the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact
SLRScenarios(0.45)
#Calculate the estimated time required for 0.8 inches of SLR in Naples according
to the scenarios in the 2022 Interagency Sea Level Rise Scenario Tool
SLRScenarios(0.45,Scenario="NOAA2022", Unit = "Inches", Location="Naples")
