For many parts of the country, particularly along the U.S. East Coast, that increase has already ramped up over the last two decades.<\/p>\n<p>From 2000 to 2019, these \u201csunny-day flooding\u201d events jumped by 190 percent in the southeast, and by 140 percent in the northeast, according to a report by NOAA released July 10. Such events can devastate coastal infrastructure \u2014 for example by disrupting traffic, inundating septic systems and salting farmlands.<\/p>\n<p>In its fifth annual high tide report, NOAA details flood risks faced by different U.S. regions using tide gauge data collected at 210 stations around the country from May 2018 to April 2019. Officials definition of a \u201cflood\u201d can vary, depending on factors including the shape of the land, urban development and storm-proofing. But across all U.S. coastal areas, tidal flooding occurred an average of five days during the study period \u2014 repeating a record set in 2015, the report says.<\/p>\n<p>Still, some regions saw tidal flooding far more frequently than the national average. The Chesapeake Bay region set new records in the last year, with 22 days of high tide floods for Washington, D.C., and 12 days each in the Maryland cities of Annapolis and Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts primarily an issue in the East Coast and Gulf Coast at the moment,\u201d said NOAA oceanographer William Sweet, who led the study, during a July 10 news conference. Flooding in the densely populated northeast, in particular, is influenced by \u201ca very energetic system\u201d offshore involving winds and ocean currents along with sea level rise. The land surface in the Chesapeake Bay region also is slowly sinking, part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencenews.org\/article\/why-sea-level-rise-varies-place-place\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a delayed readjustment<\/a> to the retreat of the great ice sheets that covered North America thousands of years ago (<em>SN Online: 8\/15\/2018<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to the \u201cmeteorological year\u201d from May 2019 through April 2020, there will be an average eight days of tidal flooding in the region stretching from Virginia to Maine, the report found. Cities set for more flooding than the national average include Boston, which will likely get 12 to 19 days of tidal floods, and New York, getting ei<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencenews.org\/article\/sunny-day-high-tide-floods-are-rise-along-us-coasts\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciencenews.org\/profiles\/sn\/themes\/science_news\/logo.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/app.newswirenow.co.uk\/www.sciencenews.org\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">science news<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As sea levels continue to rise, many coastal U.S. cities will see an increasing number of days each ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":127812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-127811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
