Can Restoring Tidal Wetlands Reduce Estuarine Nuisance Flooding of Coasts Under Future Sea‐Level Rise? by M. W. Brand, H. L. Diefenderfer, C. E. Cornu, M. A. McKeon, C. N. Janousek, A. B. Borde, T. D. Souza, M. E. Keogh, C. A. Brown, S. D. Bridgham

“…The harmonic constituents are used to generate water surface elevations over a time period of interest (e.g., one year) and compared to critical exceedance thresholds such as levee elevations. Then, changes to nuisance flooding are calculated by counting the number of hours critical thresholds are exceeded under different SLR and wetland restoration scenarios. …”
