Description: Longest period of consecutive days when RR < 1mm, where RR is the daily precipitation sum. This indicator is used for drought monitoring.
Description: Temperature in the atmosphere. It has units of Kelvin (K). Temperature measured in kelvin can be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) by subtracting 273.15. This parameter is available on multiple levels through the atmosphere.
Description: Annual average of the highest high tide of each tidal day (25 hour window) including mean sea level and sea level rise. Storm surge caused by atmospheric forcing is not taken into account.
Description: Annual highest high tide including mean sea level and sea level rise. Storm surge caused by atmospheric forcing is not taken into account.
Description: The period of the most energetic ocean waves generated by local winds and swell. The wave period is the time it takes for two consecutive wave crests, on the surface of the ocean/sea, to pass through a fixed point. The ocean/sea surface wave field consists of a combination of waves with different heights, lengths and directions (known as the two-dimensional wave spectrum). This parameter is calculated from the reciprocal of the frequency corresponding to the largest value (peak) of the frequency wave spectrum. The frequency wave spectrum is obtained by integrating the two-dimensional wave spectrum over all directions.
Description: The storm surge residual is calculated as the difference between the total water level and the tidal elevation simulations. The effect of changes in annual mean sea level is included in the simulation in both the historical and future periods.
