• All storm surge models are STRONGLY dependent on the accuracy of the meteorological input!!! • Meteorological uncertainty will dominate over storm surge model specifications (physics, resolution, etc) • Different vertical datums/reference levels • Storm surge is only one component in the real water level rise. Storm surge causes severe casualties and commercial losses to the habitant living within the range of it frequently, and has been one of the most harmful and prevailing hazards that attacks coastal areas. This paper is dedicated to reviewing and analyzing the methodologies and models that are generally used to assess the storm surge by: 1.

  Using an ADCIRC model with 26 coastal sea walls and assuming that not all coastal sea walls are damaged during a storm surge, we simulated the county of Yuhuan’s maximum possible inundation depth and performed a hazard assessment. Additionally, we assessed the vulnerability of Yuhuan County based on land use. Then, based on these assessments, we evaluated the overall Cited by: With infinite care, deep detail, and vast meteorological knowledge, Adam Sobel recounts the events leading up to one of the most destructive storms in history in Storm Surge."
