Water-level attenuation in global-scale assessments of exposure to coastal flooding: a sensitivity analysis

<p>This study explores the uncertainty introduced in global assessments of coastal flood exposure and risk when not accounting for water-level attenuation due to land-surface characteristics. We implement a range of plausible water-level attenuation values for characteristic land-cover classes...
