Global-to-local scale storm surge modelling

Operational forecasting and model sensitivities

Storm surge that results from tropical and extra-tropical cyclones is driven primarily by wind strength and inverse barometer effects which have global scale dynamics, but also local scale effects. In fact, storm surge is influenced by a multitude of local factors, including; ...

The physics of extreme high-water during coastal storms covers a wide range of scales, from tides and storms propagating over long distances to the shape of local bays, reefs and islands all contributing to what is potentially extreme high-water. Traditionally, modelling of storm ...
