Short summary
Chronic flooding occurring at high tides under calm weather conditions is an early impact of sea-level rise.

We focus here on the Guadeloupe archipelago, in the French Antilles, where chronic flood events have been reported for about 10 years. We show that the number of such events will increase drastically over the 21st century under continued growth of CO2 emissions.
