ADCIRC mesh in the Chesapeake Bay area used for the FEMA Coastal Storm Surge Study. The ADCIRC model is a high-performance, cross-platform numerical ocean circulation model popular in simulating storm surge, tides, and coastal circulation problems.
FEMA/Surge map server; Erik Larson (25 Sep 1999). "Hurricanes on the Hudson" (Opinion article). New York Times a little-known interim technical data report by the Army Corps of Engineers released in 1995... concluded that even a modest hurricane, on just the right track, could drive an immense storm surge into lower Manhattan, submerge Kennedy Airport and drown a few subway trains.
Predicting storm surge. At the University of Florida, AI scientist Zhe Jiang is working to solve one of these more granular problems in accuracy: how storm surges will affect Florida’s coasts ...
The second Hurricane Alice in 1954 was the latest forming tropical storm and hurricane, reaching these intensities on December 30 and 31, respectively. Hurricane Alice and Tropical Storm Zeta were the only two storms to exist in two calendar years – the former from 1954 to 1955 and the latter from 2005 to 2006. [14]
By 1990, Australia had developed its own storm surge model which was able to be run in a few minutes on a personal computer. [19] The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) developed its own Typhoon Model (TYM) in 1994, [20] and in 1998, the agency began using its own dynamic storm surge model.

The new AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes is based on a variety of contributing factors, such as flooding, rain, high winds, and storm surge, as well as the total damage and economic ...
The most intense storm by lowest pressure and peak 10-minute sustained winds was Typhoon Tip, which was also the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in terms of minimum central pressure. Storms with a minimum pressure of 899 hPa (26.55 inHg) or less are listed. Storm information was less reliably documented and recorded before 1950. [6]
