Modeling of Coastal Inundation, Storm Surge, and Relative Sea-Level Rise at Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.A.
TLDR
Li et al. as mentioned in this paper used hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling system validated with measured water levels from Hurricane Isabel to simulate two synthesized storms representing 50-year and 100-year return-period hurricanes, a northeaster, and five future RSLR scenarios to evaluate the combined impacts of inundation on this military installation in the lower Chesapeake Bay.Abstract:
Li, H.; Lin, L., and Burks-Copes, K.A., 2013. Modeling of coastal inundation, storm surge, and relative sea-level rise at Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.A. The potential risk and effects of storm-surge damage caused by the combination of hurricane-force waves, tides, and relative sea-level-rise (RSLR) scenarios were examined at the U.S. Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia. A hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling system validated with measured water levels from Hurricane Isabel was used to simulate two synthesized storms representing 50-year and 100-year return-period hurricanes, a northeaster, and five future RSLR scenarios to evaluate the combined impacts of inundation on this military installation in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The naval base topography and nearshore water body of Hampton Roads were included in the coastal modeling system (CMS), a suite of surge, circulation, wave, sediment transport, and morphology evolution models. The modeling domain was a rectangular area c...read more

Flood risk assessment and increased resilience for coastal urban watersheds under the combined impact of storm tide and heavy rainfall
Yawen Shen,Mohamed M. Morsy,Mohamed M. Morsy,Chris Huxley,Navid Tahvildari,Jonathan L. Goodall +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present tools and methods for floodplain mapping in coastal urban environments were rainfall and storm tide driven flooding can be better understood and communicated, and demonstrate how different flood mitigation strategies can be tested using this modeling approach to better understand their impact on increasing flood resilience within the system.

Advancing real-time flood prediction in large estuaries: iFLOOD a fully coupled surge-wave automated web-based guidance system
Arslaan Khalid,Celso M. Ferreira +1 more
TL;DR: This study presents a newly developed real-time total water flood guidance system that is fully automated based on the coupled surge-wave (ADCIRC + SWAN) model and provides water level forecasts in the Chesapeake Bay for a lead-time of 84 h twice a day displayed on a web-based public interface.

An Analytic Model of the Wind and Pressure Profiles in Hurricanes
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytic model of the radial profiles of sea level pressure and winds in a hurricane is presented, which is shown to be generally superior to two other widely used models and is considered to be a valuable aid in operational forecasting and case studies.

Kinematic Constraints on Glacier Contributions to 21st-Century Sea-Level Rise
TL;DR: It is found that a total sea-level rise of about 2 meters by 2100 could occur under physically possible glaciological conditions but only if all variables are quickly accelerated to extremely high limits.
