Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

Creator:

Serafin, Katherine A.

Abstract:

Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...
