Unveiling the role of storm surges as a driver of flooding on the western Mediterranean: a case study of the Ebro Delta

Storm surges in the Western Mediterranean are generally low in magnitude, making their contribution to coastal fooding less signifcant compared to wave overtopping. Nonetheless, low-lying, sheltered coasts such as deltas and wetlands, which are frequent along the Mediterranean basin are particularly...
