Figure 11.14: Frequency
of extreme water level, expressed as return period, from a storm surge model for
present day conditions (control) and the projected climate around 2100 for Immingham
on the east coast of England, showing changes resulting from mean sea level rise
and changes in meteorological forcing. The water level is relative to the sum
of present day mean sea level and the tide at the time of the surge. (From Lowe
et al., 2001.)
