Abstract

The tropical storm surge models depend critically on the maximum surface wind and shape of the wind profile. Since none of them are easy to measure, designing the parametric wind models for the storm surge prediction becomes divergent. Two widely used, but very different, wind models are examined. The study of their parameters showed that their resulting maximum wind and the shape of the wind profiles are similar. This property is a very useful guide for evaluating different surge models.
