Floods regularly cause damage and disruption to activities in ports or other coastal areas. A recent noted 84 floods in the second half of the 20th century (Guðrún E. Jóhannssdóttir, 2017) but in an older summary it is stated that about 6 significant floods occur every decade (Páll Imsland and Þorleifur Einarsson, 1991). The frequency of those events and their possible increase under climate change suggest that it is important both to monitor the coastal sea level and to implement computational models to predict probable flooding.
