Storm surge scenarios for Hamburg

Abstract A scenario for future storm surge heights for the tide gauge of Hamburg St. Pauli is constructed on the basis of results from a regional model for Cuxhaven. Under the A2 emission scenario, an increase of the mean annual maximum water level of about 0.1724 m appears possible and plausible for the time horizon of 2030. In Cuxhaven, an increase of 0.14 may be expected in this scenario. In...

Rising hazard of storm-surge flooding.

The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season is one for the history books. It has blown a number of records out of the water. Harvey dumped more rain on the United States than any previous hurricane. Irma maintained the highest category 5 longer than any storm anywhere in the world. September 2017 has accumulated themost cyclone energy of any month on record in the Atlantic. Last, but not least, if early...

Matrix Completion for Storm Damages Prediction

Forecasting weather disasters is very important, but still remains a big challenge for science. Aiming to tackle this issue, our study attempts to predict storm damages by using Semantic Web data (SRBench) and techniques (matrix completion methods and Statistical Unit Node Set framework). Preliminary experiments try predicting which regions are likely to be hit by the most deadly storms like hu...

Modelling the Tracy storm surge – implications for storm structure and intensity estimation

The results of hydrodynamic storm surge modelling are used to inform and construct a detailed quantitative description of the possible changing structure and intensity of severe tropical cyclone Tracy as it proceeded across Beagle Gulf to landfall at the City of Darwin in 1974. The measured storm surge is used as an independent wind calibration proxy to augment the measured eyewall winds and pr...
