[1] Hurricane storm surge presents a major hazard for the United States. We apply a model‐based risk assessment methodology to investigate hurricane storm surge risk for New York City (NYC). We couple a statistical/deterministic hurricane model with the hydrodynamic model SLOSH (sea, lake, and overland surges from hurricanes) to generate a large number of synthetic surge events; the SLOSH model...

the main purpose of this study is the survey of the atmospheric low pressure effects at sea level oscillations in the qeshm channel. for this purpose, the curves of the pressure on the persian gulf and oman sea, during the passing of the atmospheric low pressure system, are extracted across the region. during the time of occurrence of these events, sea level oscillations in the coastal areas of...

This paper describes an approach to develop a high performance animation environment for storm surge. The system provides the capability to simulate the storm surge effects in the physical world by (1) modeling a region using the airborne light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data, USGS orthophotos, RLG road data and photos; (2) animating the storm impact by using the features of this model; and ...

To avoid property loss and reduce risk caused by typhoon surges, accurate prediction of surge deviation is an important task. Many conventional numerical methods and experimental methods for typhoon surge forecasting have been investigated, but it is still a complex ocean engineering problem. In this paper, support vector regression (SVR), an emerging artificial intelligence tool in forecasting...

A flexible mesh hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate flooding of the LaHave River watershed in Nova Scotia, Canada, from the combined effects of fluvial discharge and ocean tide and surge conditions. The analysis incorporated high-resolution lidar elevation data, bathymetric river and coastal chart data, and river cross-section information. These data were merged to generate a seamless ...

Storm surges and the resulting extreme high sea levels are among the most dangerous natural disasters and are responsible for widespread social, economic and environmental consequences. Using a set of 220 tide gauges, this paper investigates the temporal variations in storm surges around the world and the spatial coherence of its variability. We compare results derived from two parameters used ...

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...
