Storm Surges Congress 2010

open access: yes, 2010
Storm surges represent a major type of natural hazard, frequently causing substantial losses of lives and economic damages. Besides climate change drivers, storm surges are exacerbated by anthropogenic forcing including intensive land and sea use along ...

Storm Surges in the Bohai Sea: The Role of Waves and Tides

open access: yes, 2020
A storm surge is a complex phenomenon in which waves, tide and current interact. Even though wind is the predominant force driving the surge, waves and tidal phase are also important factors that influence the mass and momentum transport during the surge.

Explanations for the positive storm surges on the left side of landfall typhoons in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The coastal regions of Southeast China frequently experience unusual positive storm surges on the left side of landfalling typhoons, a phenomenon historically overlooked and inadequately explained by conventional circular wind field models. In this study,

The reduction of storm surge by vegetation canopies: Three‐dimensional simulations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2012
Significant buffering of storm surges by vegetation canopies has been suggested by limited observations and simple numerical studies, particularly following recent Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.

NUMERICAL STORM SURGE FORECASTING

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1978
The present state of the development of an operative storm surge prediction system in Germany is described. It is based on numerical models of the atmosphere and the North Sea. First simulations of the storm surge on Jan. 3, 1976 yield the result, that the observed water levels along the North Sea coasts can be recalculated quite well using a ...

Simulating Storm Surge and Inundation Along the Taiwan Coast During Typhoons Fanapi in 2010 and Soulik in 2013

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016
Taiwan is subjected to significant storm surges, waves, and coastal inundation during frequent tropical cyclones. Along the west coast, with gentler bathymetric slopes, storm surges often cause significant coastal inundation.

Climate Change and the Future Impacts of Storm-Surge Disasters in Developing Countries

open access: yes
As the climate changes during the 21st century, larger cyclonic storm surges and growing populations may collide in disasters of unprecedented size. As conditions worsen, variations in coastal morphology will magnify the effects in some areas, while ...
