Abstract: Coastal regions face escalating social, environmental and economic challenges due to floods. Flood impacts can be magnified by the combined effects and interaction of maritime, atmospheric, and fluvial drivers, a phenomenon which is typically known as compound flooding. Holistic flood assessments that account for compound flooding, while comprehensive, are resource intensive and often of limited use in decision-making. To address this critical gap, our study develops a streamlined probabilistic approach to decipher compound flood patterns along the Andalusian coastline, Spain. By means of the "extreme values simultaneity" and "extreme values correlation" methods, we identify flooding hotspots where further local analysis is needed. Preliminary results from the Guadiaro river mouth reveal significant insights, emphasizing the usefulness of these techniques in guiding resource allocation for flood analysis.
