Probabilistic knowledge of the
levels of flooding for the beaches
along the coastline of the Balearic
Islands is of extreme importance
for a correct management of
the coast. Flooding of beaches
due to marine dynamics and meteorological
factors is a complex phenomenon,
both due to the high number
of factors involved and the
interaction of said elements.
Current methodologies allow
us to gain the average flood
level, or high water mark, (defining
the beaches functionality) and
that caused by extreme conditions
(defining how prone it is to
flooding in extreme conditions)
with a high level of rigour.
Within the framework of this
project we aim to answer questions
such as how many waves a year
surpass the rear edge of a beach,
and every how many years is
there a flooding of the land
behind a certain beach.
