Short summary
Compound events – that is, two or more events occurring simultaneously – can lead to high impacts, even if the two single events are not extreme per se, i.e. only their combination. The possibility of utilizing statistical dependence methods in coastal flood hazard calculations is investigated. The statistical analysis between storm surge and wave height is performed over 32 river ending points along European coasts. The top 80 compound events are defined, and their low-level flow is analysed.
