Trabajo presentado en la Sea Level Rise Conference, celebrada en Venecia (Italia) del 17 al 18 de octubre de 2022. Extreme sea levels along coastlines result from a combination of factors, including increases in local mean sea levels and tidal levels, storm surge events, waves and changes in coastal morphology. In the Baltic Sea basin, due to its semi-enclosed nature, tides and North Atlantic storm surges are efficiently filtered by the Danish Straits. Therefore, extreme sea levels here are primarily wind driven. This study investigates the meteorological processes which trigger the sudden rise of sea level at the station of Ölands Norra Udde, along the Swedish coastline. This work aims to design an algorithm that can detect the occurrence of extreme sea level rises by only using meteorological information. This can improve the prediction of the occurrence of extreme sea level events.
