Increased exposure of coastal cities to sea-level rise due to internal climate variability

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 02 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01603-w

Sea-level rise (SLR) projections do not fully consider the influence of internal climate variability (ICV). Using large-ensemble projections, the authors show that including upper-limit ICV results in SLR hotspots in Southeast Asian megacities, and Western Indian and Pacific Oceans.
