Design Hurricane Storm Surge Pilot Study

Several aspects of storm surge and wave hindcasting were investigated in this study including one- and two-way coupling between storm surge and wave models and the impact of tidal and the adjoining bays on water elevations in the ocean/gulf in the vicinity of the inlet during a hurricane. A number of useful conclusions regarding these issues are presented.
