Riskscape Sample Clauses

Riskscape. In Fig. 11 the “riskscape” for coastal floods in Europe is depicted. The map indicates the location of the investigated cities and shows the exponents a4 and b2 of Eqs. (14) and (15), respectively, as obtained from fitting the damage functions. The exponents serve as an indicator for the vulnerability to sea level rise. Given that rising mean sea levels shift the magnitudes of extreme events accordingly (Xxxxxxxxx et al. 2011), the exponent determines how the damage increases for an event of certain annuality. Very large exponents suggest damage functions which are close to exponential increase. As displayed in Fig. 11 for most cities the exponents are rather small, except for seven urban clusters, which exhibit exponents above 5, namely The Hague (NED), Amsterdam (NED), War- London damage function Cross plot Damage by Xxxxxx et. al [billion Euro] 100 Damage [billion Euro] 80 80 60 60 40 40 20 20 Flood height [m] Our damage estimate [billion Euro] Damage by Xxxxxx et. al [billion Euro]
