Flooding will occur at least three times as often.
In new York city in 100 years may increase the number of floods reported in a scientific paper written by scientists from Rutgers, Princeton universities and the Oceanographic Institute in woods hole. According to the report, the flooding will happen at least 3 times more often, and the water level rise up to 2.7 meters, as from hurricane sandy in 2012.
Scientists reported that major flooding in the XXI century have become more likely because of sea-level rise, and in this connection the probability of occurrence of disasters may increase about 4 times. The studies were carried out using computer models and on the basis of meteorological observations.
However, the data obtained through this study can not accurately predict how often this will happen large-scale flooding, but it is possible that the frequency of such accidents will increase to 17 times. “The situation with the floods only worsen by the year 2100. The only question is how much worse it will become – optimistic forecast is not” – said the scientist Benjamin Horton.
