(a) '2020s'. The years 2020 through 2029.

(b) '2050s'. The years 2050 through 2059.

(c) '2080s'. The years 2080 through 2089.

(d) 'Baseline level'. The average level of the surface of marine or tidal water over the years 2000 through 2004.

(e) 'ClimAID model outputs'. Projections based on the outputs of global climate models, downscaled to New York, and additional information, including information to account for anticipated changes in the rates of ice melt that cannot yet be more rigorously included in quantitative models.

(f) 'Community Risk and Resiliency Act'. Chapter 355 of the Laws of 2014.

(g) 'Department'. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

(h) 'High-medium projection'. The amount of sea-level rise that is unlikely (the 75th percentile of ClimAID model outputs) to be exceeded by the specified time interval.

(i) 'High projection'. The amount of sea-level rise that is associated with high rates of melt of land-based ice and is very unlikely (the 90th percentile of ClimAID model outputs) to be exceeded by the specified time interval.

(j) 'Long Island Region'. The marine coast of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

(k) 'Lower Hudson-New York City Region'. The main stem of the Hudson River, south from the mouth of Rondout Creek at Kingston, New York, and the marine coast of the five boroughs of New York City and the Long Island Sound in Westchester County.

(l) 'Low-medium projection'. The amount of sea-level rise that is likely (the 25th percentile of ClimAID model outputs) to be exceeded by the specified time interval.

(m) 'Low projection'. The amount of sea-level rise that is consistent with historical rates of sea-level rise and is very likely (the 10th percentile of ClimAID model outputs) to be exceeded by the specified time interval.

(n) 'Medium projection'. The amount of sea-level rise that is about as likely as not (the mean of the 25th and 75th percentiles of ClimAID model outputs) to be exceeded by the specified time interval.

(o) 'Mid-Hudson Region'. The main stem of the Hudson River, from the federal dam at Troy to the mouth of Rondout Creek at Kingston, New York.

(p) 'Sea-level rise'. The increase in the average level of the surface of marine or tidal water for the specified geographic region.
