Hector-FACTS Technical Report & User Guide: Integrating Hector into the Framework for Assessing Changes To Sea-level

Abstract

The Framework for Assessing Changes To Sea-level (FACTS) platform was developed by (Kopp et al., 2023) as an open-source modular tool capable of generating probabilistic projections for global mean sea-level change and future relative and extreme sea-level change at New York City (Kopp et al., 2023). FACTS is the first open-source modular tool designed to explore deep uncertainty in SLR while also synthesizing across different modeling groups and integrating the various components of SLR (Figure 1) used in key climate reports (Fox-Kemper et al., 2021a; Slangen et al., 2023; Sweet, W. V., Hamlington, B. D., Kopp, R. E., Weaver, C. P., Barnard, P. L., Bekaert, D., W. Brooks, M. C., Dusek, G., Frederikse, T., Garner, G., Genz, A., Krasting, J. P., Larour, E., D. Marcy, J. J. M., Obeysekera, J., Osler, M., Pendleton, M., Roman, D., Schmied, L., Veatch, W., White, K. D., and Zuzak, C., 2022).
