Abstract: Coastal flooding events generated by the combination of different simultaneous Meteorological and Oceanographic processes (i.e., astronomic tides, sea level anomalies, storm surges, wave run‐up, winds, rainfall, etc.) that occur at different spatial and temporal scales, are a big concern for Pacific nations. Nevertheless, relatively short records result in historical observations of only a small fraction of all the possible range of conditions that could potentially lead to coastal flooding. To overcome these restrictions, climate-based emulators have arisen as an efficient alternative to generate synthetic time series of Met-Ocean parameters.
