Compound flooding in Halmstad

The study examines compound flooding in Halmstad, Sweden, identifying a correlation between river discharge and sea level annual maxima driven by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Future compound flooding risks are projected to be primarily driven by mean sea level rise and secondarily by increased mean 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).
• Winter precipitation acts as a driver for fluvial river hazards and may contribute additional pluvial hazards, sharing the same dependence on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).
• Future changes in compound flooding in the region are expected to be driven mainly by the rise in mean sea level, followed by increases in mean river discharge.
