Spatial Footprints of Storm Surges Along the Global Coastlines
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020 This article also appears in: Coastal Hydrology and Oceanography.We perform the first global analysis of the spatial footprints of storm surges, using observed and simulated storm surge data. Three different techniques are applied to quantify the spatial

Storm Surges: Phenomena, Forecasting and Scenarios of Change
Procedia IUTAM, 2014 Storm surges are behind the geophysical risk of short term and abrupt inundating low-lying coastal regions known along most coasts of the world. They are related to meteorological phenomena, mostly wind storms.

Ensemble Forecasting of Storm Surges
Marine Geodesy, 2009The overtopping of flood defenses by coastal storm surges constitutes a significant threat to life and property. Like all forecasts, storm surge predictions have an associated uncertainty, but this is not directly predicted by current operational systems.

Observing storm surges in the Bay of Bengal from satellite altimetry
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2014 In the present study, we examined 15 years (1993-2007) of satellite altimeter and coastal tide-gauge records in the Bay of Bengal and demonstrate that satellite altimetry can be a useful complementary dataset for the study of storm surges.

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 ...

Methodology for Storm Surge Risk Analysis
IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2008China is largely affected by marine disasters because of her long coastal line, and storm surge is the most of all. The loss of storm surge disaster annually reaches tens of billion RMB. With the change of focus from disaster reduction (DR) to disaster risk reduction (DRR), risk reduction is paid more attentions and it is gradually considered as an ...

Storm surge prediction with cygnss winds
2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017The NASA Earth Venture Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a constellation of eight observatories in a 35° inclination, ∼530 km altitude Earth orbit. Each observatory carries a 4-channel bistatic wind scatterometer receiver. Measurements of the ocean surface scattering cross section are converted to 10 meter-referenced wind speed ...

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.

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 ...
