Analysis of storm surge events along the Norwegian coast

Storm Surge Prediction for Louisiana Coast Using Artificial Neural Networks

A CYCLONE INDUCED STORM SURGE FORECASTING MODEL FOR THE COAST OF BANGLADESH WITH APPLICATION TO THE CYCLONE `SIDR'

The coast of Bangladesh has a specialty in terms of high bending and many off- shore islands. Incorporation of the coastline and island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme is essential for accurate estimation of water levels due to surge. For that purpose a numerical scheme consisting of very fine mesh is required along the coastal belt, whereas this is unnecessary away from the coast. In...

Predictability of Seasonal East Coast Winter Storm Surge Impacts with Application to New York's Long Island (running Title: Predictability of East Coast Winter Storm Surge Impacts)

The characteristics of seasons with enhanced East Coast winter storm and storm surge activity are identified from among a set of global atmospheric circulation indices and local land and sea surface temperature anomalies. Without regard for storm strength or surge potential, the most active East Coast winter storm (ECWS) seasons occur in association with El Niño events. There is also some indic...

Bivariate Analysis of Extreme Wave and Storm Surge Events. Determin- ing the Failure Area of Structures

In the present paper a bivariate process of extreme waves and storm surges at a Dutch station on the North Sea is considered. A bivariate logistic model and a sequential estimation procedure are used to extract joint exceedance probabilities of the two variables. The parameters of the margins of the bivariate distribution are defined by three different methods of estimation: a) the Maximum Like...

Stranding Events of Kogia Whales along the Brazilian Coast

The genus Kogia, which comprises only two extant species, Kogia sima and Kogia breviceps, represents one of the least known groups of cetaceans in the global ocean. In some coastal regions, however, stranding events of these species have been relatively common over the last decades. Stranding provides the opportunity to investigate the biology of these cetaceans and to explore the epidemiologic...
