Data: Cutting the costs of coastal protection: how vegetation reduces global flood hazard

File: levee_crest_height_reduction_per_country.nc Fields: (1) Levee crest height reduction m per km along the global coastline susceptible to flooding (return period = 100 years)             (2) Levee crest height reduction cost saving per country in billion USD (return period = 100 years)             (3) Cost savings as percentage of GDP, due to lowered required levee crest height (return period = 100 years) File: transectdata_180320_data_per_transect.nc Fields: (1) rps           = return period            (2) fid            = id of the transects (3) centroids = coordinates of the transects (4) inun         = (1) in area susceptible to flooding, (0) not susceptible to flooding (5) urban       = (1) in urban area, (0) not in urban area (6) veg_width = derived vegetation width along the foreshore (7) veg_type   = derived vegetation type along the foreshore (8) hsig           = Offshore significant wave heights (multiple return periods) corresponding to the transects (9) wave period = Offshore peak wave period (multiple return periods) corresponding to the transects (10) surge          = Extreme water level combination of surge and tide (m +MSL) (multiple return periods) (11) veg_z0       = elevation at the start of the vegetated zone (m +MSL) (12) hrms_end_noveg = root mean square wave height at the end of the foreshore (without vegetation) (multiple return periods) (13) hrms_endveg       = root mean square wave height at the end of the foreshore (with vegetation) (multiple return periods)
