Description:

Abstract:

A dataset of modeled nearshore water levels (WLs) was developed for the North and South Carolina coastlines. Water levels, defined for this dataset as the linear sum of tides and non-tidal residuals (NTR), were produced by Muis and others (2016) using a global tide and surge model (GTSM) forced by global atmospheric fields. Water level outputs were extracted from the global grid at approximately 20 km resolution along the southeast Atlantic coastline. These data were then statistically downscaled using a signal-specific set of corrections to improve skill in comparison to tide gauge observations (Parker and others, 2023). Projected water levels were forced by CMIP6 future period data. This dataset provides information on how water levels are expected to change moving towards the future. Four CMIP6 climate models were selected from the High-Resolution Model Intercomparison project (highresMIP; Haarsma and others, 2016) to sample variability in climate predictions.

Purpose:

These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify and assess possible areas of vulnerability. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Accuracy of modelled water level data is dependent on a variety of factors including resolution, quality of forcing inputs, numerics, and included physical processes. Validation of modeled hindcast data compared to observations from tide gauges across the study region suggests that model root mean square error is around 13 cm for water levels, 7 cm for Non-Tidal Residuals, and 9 cm for Tides.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All data fall within expected ranges. Missing data have been filled with -9999 values. Missing data values were assigned for data that failed QA/QC checks, primarily due to numerical artifacts, such as instabilities.

Completeness_Report:

Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The reported horizontal location of data output points is approximate. Horizontal accuracy is within a kilometer, with the error depending on local mesh resolution and how close the output station happen to be to a model grid node.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Water Level data is projected for a future period so cannot be assessed for accuracy against observations. An identical model configuration run for a hindcast period found a model root mean square error of around 13 cm for water levels, 7 cm for Non-Tidal Residuals, and 9 cm for Tides.

Source_Contribution: Water level and tidal data

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Water levels were obtained from the Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM) hindcast/forecast dataset for the southeast Atlantic region. GTSM was forced by CMCC-CM2-VHR4, EC-Earth3P-HR, GFDL-CM4 and HadGEM3-GC31-HM_highresSST-future atmospheric conditions from the CMIP6 High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project. See Muis and others (2016) for information on GTSM setup.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: GTSM
Process_Date: 20200301

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

NOAA Tide Gauge data were obtained at all available stations along the southeast Atlantic. All available water level and tidal prediction data were download for NOAA stations: 8632200, 8638610, 8638901, 8651370, 8652587, 8654467, 8656483, 8658163, 8661070, 8662245, 8665530, 8670870, 8720030, 8720218, 8721604, 8722670, 8722956, 8723214.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: NOAA tide gauge
Process_Date: 20200301

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

GTSM water level data were separated into contributing signals: Non-tidal Residual, Tides, Seasonality, and Monthly Mean Sea Levels. This was accomplished using tidal analysis and band-pass filtering.

Process_Date: 20200401

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Non-tidal residuals were correcting using quantile matching (Déqué, 2007) with the target being the average error across all tide gauge observations (see Parker and others, 2023).

Process_Date: 20201001

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Seasonality (defined here as the annual and semi-annual harmonics) was corrected using linear regression to remove locational bias as compared to tide gauges. The amplitude and phase of the seasonal cycles were shift with latitude as a predictor variable (see Parker and others, 2023).

Process_Date: 20201001

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Tides were corrected using an ensemble-based method. Phase and Amplitude of tidal harmonics were determined based on a weighted average of available tide information in the region with weighting determined by the average model performance in comparison to tide gauges. See Parker and others (2023) for more details.

Process_Date: 20201001

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Monthly Mean Sea Level was corrected using a single linear shift to eliminate bias in modeled values (see Parker and others, 2023).

Process_Date: 20201001

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Corrected water level signals were recombined and validated against all tide gauges in the region (see Parker and others, 2023).

Process_Date: 20201101

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Water levels were packaged for data release.
