Compound flooding in Halmstad

A study on compound flooding in Halmstad, Sweden, analyzing the co-variability of river discharge, sea level, and precipitation driven by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and projecting future risks driven by sea level rise and river discharge.

• River discharge and sea level annual maxima in Halmstad exhibit a correlation in peak strength on interannual time scales, which is attributed to a shared dependence on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).
• Precipitation during winter months also depends on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), serving as a driver for fluvial river hazards and potentially contributing to pluvial hazards.
• Future changes in compound flooding in Halmstad are expected to be driven primarily by the rise in mean sea level and secondarily by increases in mean river discharge.
