Joint Probability Analysis of Hurricane Flood Hazards for Mississippi
This report documents the development of a probabilistic model to represent the occurrence rate and characteristics of future hurricanes capable of producing significant surge inundation along the Mississippi coast, using available hurricane data and statistical tools that have been developed for the offshore oil industry. The report also documents the generation of a suite of synthetic storms,...
متن کاملThe effect of uncertainty on estimates of hurricane surge hazards
It is shown here that uncertainty can significantly affect estimated surge levels over a wide range of annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs). For AEPs in the range of 1 9 10–5 9 10 in the New Orleans area, estimated surge values with and without consideration of uncertainty differ by about 0.5–1.0 m. Similarly, suppression of natural variability, such as using a single value for Mississippi Ri...
متن کاملHazards of neoliberalism: delayed electric power restoration after Hurricane Ike.
This case study explores how neoliberal policies shape the impacts of a natural disaster. We investigate the reactions to major damages to the electric power system and the restoration of power in the wake of Hurricane Ike, which devastated the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area in September 2008. We argue that the neoliberal policy agenda insured a minimalist approach to the crisis and generate...

متن کاملQuikSCAT geophysical model function for tropical cyclones and application to Hurricane Floyd
The QuikSCAT radar measurements of several tropical cyclones in 1999 have been studied to develop the geophysical model function (GMF) of Ku-band radar 0s for extreme high wind conditions. To account for the effects of precipitation, we analyze the co-located rain rates from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and propose the rain rate as a parameter of the GMF. The analysis indicates t...
