Assessing climate change impacts, sea level rise and storm surge risk in port cities: a case study on Copenhagen
... Climate change can affect water levels around Copenhagen in two ways; firstly, by simply raising the mean sea level and also by changing the variability in sea levels through, for example, changes in storminess, in particular, changes in the characteristics of extra-tropical cyclones. For example, a ...
