    What is the increase in though? Numbers of unusually high Spring tides, or unusually high water levels?

    There are many places around the world who would be very anxious about that.

    I just GOOGLED it again to answer your questions Durdle. The study was published in the journal NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE. In 2019 NOAA reported over 600 HIGH TIDE FLOODS. In the 2030's these high tide floods will occur in clusters some of which may last a month. The lunar cycle will amplify rising sea levels. The ALaskan coast will have another ten years before it hits that far north. So Is that better m'dear? HIGH TIDE FLOODS in clusters lasting a month? Doesn't sound so good. Thank you for your reply Durdle.
