McIvor, A.L. (author), Spencer, T. (author), Möller, I. (author), Spalding, M. (author)Storm surges occur when high winds and low atmospheric pressure raise water levels at the coast, causing sea water to surge onto the land. They are a major threat to low-lying coastal areas and their inhabitants. The largest storm surges are caused by tropical cyclones (also called hurricanes and typhoons in different regions); peak water levels...report 2012

Caires, S. (author), De Haan, L. (author), Smith, R. (author)The current computations of the Hydraulic Boundary Conditions rely mostly on the distribution of the basic variables at the peak of the storms. As a means of improving the quality of the numerical modelling with a view towards the 2017 assessment, it is envisaged that the numerical models (e.g. the wave model) will in the future use time and...report 2011

Kolen, B. (author), Slomp, R. (author), Van Balen, W. (author), Terpstra, T. (author), Bottema, M. (author), Nieuwenhuis, S. (author)On the 28th of February 2010 at 2 a.m. the storm Xynthia hit the French Atlantic coast. The storm surge combined with the high tide and large waves caused flood defences to fail along the coastline from the Gironde (Bordeaux) to the Loire Estuary. A significant amount of land, (>50 000 ha) was consequently flooded and 47 people died as a result...report 2010

Mattheij, L. (author), Roovers, G. (author)The project is based on the fictional notion of a storm similar to Katrina hitting the Netherlands, and explores new approaches and ideas for dealing with the impact. The project resulted in a new concept in which self-reliant communities play a key role. The concept we have developed is not intended as a readymade, comprehensive alternative to...report 2007

Van Vledder, G.J. . (author), Adema, J. (author)For two historical storms the water levels and currents in the Wadden Sea were simulated using the so-called model-train of Rijkswaterstaat. The first storm of 1 Nov. 2006 generated exceptionally high water levels in the Eems-Dollard estuary. The second storm of 18 Jan. 2007 was also scaled up to represent a 1 in 4000 year design storm.
