Abstract :
Records for more than 30 years of hourly sea level data at Alexandria and Port Said were used in these analyses. From these analyses the extreme sea level distribution was derived using a statistical analysis technique. A model for sea level prediction was constructed. The results indicate that the sea level rise if any will not exceed 15 cm in the worst weather condition for the next 50 years.
