It is shown here that uncertainty can significantly affect estimated surge levels over a wide range of annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs). For AEPs in the range of 1 × 10<Superscript>−2</Superscript>–5 × 10<Superscript>−2</Superscript> in the New Orleans area, estimated surge values with and without consideration of uncertainty...</superscript></superscript>

In response to the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, surge risk assessment approaches have been re-evaluated to develop more rapid, reliable methods for predicting the risk associated with extreme hurricanes. Here, the development of dimensionless surge response functions relating surge to...
