High tide flooding:Drivers,risk assessment,and prediction
High tide flooding(HTF)—a kind of minor coastal flooding that usually occurs near the high tide level,becomes more frequent under climate change.It has a certain impact on the coastal socioeconomic system and natural environment,and is a hot issue in low-lying coastal cities.This article examined the definition of HTF,and systematically summarized the main progress of HTF research in terms of its drivers,impacts,risk assessment,and frequency forecasting.In the future,it is recommended to strengthen the research on the drivers,risk assessment,and forecast of HTF frequency.These include extensive monitoring of HTF,quantifying the role of interactions between factors leading to HTF,comprehensively assessing HTF risk,and accurately predicting HTF frequency.All these works will finally contribute to the disaster prevention and mitigation of HTF in coastal cities.
