Parameterization of Hurricane Surge for the State of Texas Coastline

Project Description

By simulating storm surges hitting a representative portion of the Texas coast, Texas Engineering Experiment Station provided an improved understanding of hurricane surge generation along the Texas coast, a simplified method for estimating surge as a function of hurricane size and strength and geographic location where it comes ashore, and an assessment of the value of coastal natural resources in protecting against storm surges.
