A new tropical cyclone surge index incorporating the effects of coastal geometry, bathymetry and storm information

Abstract This study presents a new storm surge hazard potential index (SSHPI) for estimating tropical cyclone (TC) induced peak surge levels at a coast. The SSHPI incorporates parameters that are often readily available at real-time: intensity in 10-min maximum wind speed, radius of 50-kt wind, tran...
