Replication Data for: InterAgency Task Force on Sea Level Rise, Sea Level Rise Scenarios, National Sea Level Explorer
Abstract
Background: In 2022, the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task Force produced a Technical Report titled "Global and Regional Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States: Updated Mean Projections and Extreme Water Level Probabilities Along U.S. Coastlines". This report provides the most up-to-date sea level rise scenarios, available for all U.S. states and territories, out to the year 2150. It is the latest product from the Task Force, which includes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineer, along with partners in academia. The information in the report is intended to inform coastal communities and others about current and future sea level rise to help contextualize its effects for decision making purposes. The U.S. Sea Level Change website builds upon this report and improves access to the information found within the report. The site provides federally-supported data visualizations coupled with explanations and science education to help communities prepare for challenges that will affect our coastal environments. By showing how sea levels are changing regionally, the site provides a foundation to inform decision making related to coastal planning, resource management, and emergency operations. This spreadsheet contains the data found in the National Sea Level Explorer. The National Sea Level Explorer provides data at the regional, state and tide-gauge level. Regional and state averages are created by combining data from the tide gauges and gridded values found within the boundaries of those regions and states.
