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 used in key climate reports.
