In this chapter, we present a second example of statistical estimation of extreme quantiles: millennial quantiles for storm surges at Brest (France), based on hourly sea-level measurements. We run sensitivity tests on parameter values, on the choice of analytic models for distributions, and on the statistical estimation methods chosen.

Sedimentology, 1979
ABSTRACTSand ridges along the coast of northern Brittany contain alternating beds of coarse and fine to medium sand 4–10 m above normal reach of highest spring tides. They were deposited in the Holocene, largely during the last centuries, by sand charged storm surges. Deformation structures at many levels in these beds have amplitudes of 2–25 cm.

Chesapeake Bay Extratropical Storm Surges
Chesapeake Science, 1965An extratropical storm surge prediction scheme is derived empirically for a station at each end of the Chesapeake Bay. The regression equations, which are determined by the multiple correlation-screening process, give an interpolation of the wind field over the Bay by using meteorological observations with various time lags at three stations. Practical

Abstract One of the most deadly but fascinating phenomena that accompany hurricanes is the storm surge, usually experienced as a sudden rise of sea level near the time of maximum wind speed. This rise of the ocean, which may range from just a few inches to as much as 13 m (42 ft), is historically the most lethal aspect of hurricanes ...

As Hurricane Sandy graphically illustrated, storm surge can wreak havoc on building foundations in coastal flood zones, even when the foundations have been designed in accordance with robust building codes and floodplain regulations. Losses will continue when strong storms come ashore unless the building community changes its fundamental approach to ...

Wind Storm and Storm Surge Mitigation
2010This monograph contains 13 technical papers presented at the First International Workshop on Wind Storm and Storm Surge Mitigation Construction: Issues of Storm, Shelter, and Safety, held in Bangladesh in 2005. The papers by U.S. and Bangladeshi scientists and engineers explore the long-term issues of wind storm, storm surge, and public safety in the ...
