摘要: The overtopping of port breakwaters may affect the assets located at breakwater lee side. If adaptation measures are not taken, sea level rise will increase discharges putting those significant risk. This study compares, a regional scale, over for three storm conditions (return periods 1, 5 and 50 years) under present climate as well scenarios based on recent projections. results indicate that, worst conditions, discharge would be negligible (larger than 1 l/s/m) in 35 ports (84 %), contrast to only 18 (42 %) being affected conditions. In addition, 28 (65 %) least one order magnitude larger case large storms, 2 exceeds 200 l/s/m (the that can initiate damage) while scenario number exceeding this value 7. On other hand, vulnerability each which flow is greater an acceptable flux assessed, maps plotted. For 23 % Catalan have risks associated with percentage 47 % scenario.
