Implementation/optimization of moving least squares response surfaces for approximation of hurricane/storm surge and wave responses

Taflanidis, Alexandros; Jia, Gaofeng; Kennedy, Andrew; … - In: Natural Hazards 66 (2013) 2, pp. 955-983

One of the important recent advances in the field of hurricane/storm modelling has been the development of high-fidelity numerical simulation models for reliable and accurate prediction of wave and surge responses. The computational cost associated with these models has simultaneously created an...

Stochastic modelling of tropical cyclone tracks

Rumpf, Jonas; Weindl, Helga; Höppe, Peter; Rauch, Ernst; … - In: Computational Statistics 66 (2007) 3, pp. 475-490

. The points of cyclone genesis are modelled as a spatial Poisson point process, the intensity of which is estimated using a …, thereby generating a first 6-h segment of a track. The subsequent segments are then generated by drawing changes in theses … the track is determined after each segment as a function of wind speed and location. In the present paper, the model is …

Tropical Cyclone Losses in the USA and the Impact of Climate Change: A Trend Analysis Based on a New Dataset

Schmidt, Silvio; Kemfert, Claudia; Höppe, Peter - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2008

Economic losses caused by tropical cyclones have increased dramatically. It can be assumed that most losses are due to increased prosperity and a greater tendency for people to settle in exposed areas, but also that the growing incidence of severe cyclones is due to climate change. This paper...

Spatiotemporal patterns of extreme hurricanes impacting US coastal cities

Ellis, Kelsey; Sylvester, Linda; Trepanier, Jill - In: Natural Hazards 75 (2015) 3, pp. 2733-2749

US coastal cities are regularly subjected to destruction by tropical cyclones. The risk of tropical cyclone winds varies along the length of the coastline. We analyze landfalling North Atlantic basin tropical cyclones whose intensities are considered extreme relative to their landfall location....
