An Evaluation of Storm Surge Frequency-of-Occurrence Estimators
Publication: Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008
Abstract
Several approaches for estimating storm surge frequency-of-occurrence relationships for tropical cyclone-impacted regions have been developed over the years. Evaluations of the performance of these methodologies have been hampered by the paucity of historical data. We present results for a direct comparison made between alternative methods of estimating storm surge frequency-of-occurrence relationships using synthetic data. The results show that joint probability methods are the most promising.
