Vulnerability assessment of storm surges in the coastal area of Guangdong Province [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011 Being bordered by the South China Sea and with long coastline, the coastal zone of Guangdong Province is often under severe risk of storm surges, as one of a few regions in China which is seriously threatened by storm surges.

Characteristics and Long-Term Variability of Occurrences of Storm Surges in the Baltic Sea
Atmosphere, 2021 Understanding the characteristics of storm surges is especially important in the context of ongoing climate changes, which often lead to catastrophic events in the coastal zones of seas and oceans. For this reason, this paper presents the characteristics

Predicting Typhoon Induced Storm Surges Using the Operational Ocean Forecast System
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010 This study was performed to compare storm surges simulated by the operational storm surges/tide forecast system (STORM : Storm surges/Tide Operational Model) of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) with observations from 30 coastal tidal ...

Computing extreme storm surges in Europe using neural networks [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesBecause of the computational costs of computing storm surges with hydrodynamic models, projections of changes in extreme storm surges are often based on small ensembles of climate model simulations.

Attenuation of Storm Surges by Coastal Mangroves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractThe interaction between mangroves and storm surges is explored using an analytical solution. A simplified momentum equation, balancing vegetation drag and pressure gradient, is combined with the continuity equation resulting in a diffusion equation.

Proceedings of OceanObs'09: Sustained Ocean Observations and Information for Society, 2010 Storm surges occur in coastal areas when strong onshore winds and low atmospheric pressure during passing storms raise water levels along the shore above predicted levels. Storm surges occur on all four Canadian coasts (Pacific, Arctic, Atlantic and Great Lakes). The most severe known surges in Canada have been 2 to 3 metres high (well over the head of

Qualitative Inquiry, 2014 This is a story about what happens when an experienced teacher attempts to survive the implementation of a relentless, assessment-driven curriculum. Australian Education systems are now demanding that schools be accountable for student results, and that student outcomes are measured.
