Modelled storm surge and total water level return periods along the coastline of China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand (1980-2050).

This dataset provides modelled storm surge and total water levels along the South China Sea region (coastline of China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand) for the period 1980-2050. Three return period scenarios are considered: 10% AEP (Annual Exceedance Probability) = 1:10 year return period; 1% AEP = 1:100 year return period; 0.1% AEP = 1:1000 year return period. Projections utilise Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 – the greenhouse gas concentration trajectory adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The dataset was produced by forcing a hydrodynamic model underpinned by a new synthetic database representing 10,000 years of past, present and future tropical cyclone activity. The aim of this exercise being to estimate the risks posed by extreme sea levels, especially in tropical regions where cyclones can generate large storm surges and observations are too limited in time and space to deliver reliable analyses. The dataset was produced by Principal Investigators Dr Ivan D Haigh and Dr Melissa Wood (School of Ocean and Earth Science, University of Southampton, UK) in collaboration with partners from the School of Geography and Environmental Science (University of Southampton, UK), Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (University of East Anglia, UK), Southern Institute of Water Resource Research (Vietnam) and the Institute for Environmental Studies (Netherlands). Funding was secured through the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Grant ‘CompFlood’ (grant number NE/S003150/1).

Explanation
BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

Statement
This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library.
