It is a rise of coastal shallow water driven by a storm's surface wind and pressure gradient forces. There are at least four processes involved in altering tide levels during storms: the pressure effect, the direct wind effect, the effect of waves, and the rainfall effect. Extra-tropical storms cause an offshore rise of water. Unlike most tropical cyclone storm surge, extra-tropical storms can cause higher water levels across a large area for longer periods and can lead to significant coastal flooding. The most common application of joint probability methods in coastal engineering is to waves and sea levels occurring near high tide for assessment of flood risk at sea defences. For the purposes of the JPM method, the storm is described in terms of its characteristics at or near landfall, using the following parameters: pressure deficit  , radius of the exponential pressure profile  , Holland\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s B parameter, forward velocity  , storm heading  , and the landfall location. The objective of this study is to provide a basis for the application of the JPM method to assess the impact of extra tropical storms in the NY-NJ coastal region by investigating possible meteorological properties of storms that can affect the storm surge. The following factors were studied in a region east of Battery where the surge is optimally related to storm properties: storm velocity, acceleration, orientation of storms, the minimum pressure, distance from storm center to The Battery, and the analysis of impacts of wind velocity, wind stress at The Battery on storm surge. Correlations between storm properties and surge suggest that storm velocity and minimum central pressure have significant impact on surge and lower velocity or minimum central pressure correspond to higher surge. However, there is no evidence that acceleration and distance from storm center to The Battery have significant impact on surge. Most storms are moving 20-40 degree with respect to the East to the Northeast. Storms with angles ranging from -45 degree to 40 degree have significant impact on surge. An extreme value analysis of minimum pressure and maximum storm surge was also carried out. An approximation of the return period of Hurricane Sandy from the extreme value analysis is about 550 years."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-18T23:49:45Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Hameed, Sultan"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Niu, Aichen"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-18T23:49:45Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-18T23:49:45Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Marine and Atmospheric Science."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"45 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/76002"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2015-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-18T23:49:45Z (GMT).
