Abstract:

This report describes the establishment of frequency curves for water levels caused by the combination of tide, storm surge, and waves for a coastal area just north of Boston. The project procedure involves the conjunctive use of five modeling components, including numerical storm surge, numerical wave propagation, physical wave overtopping, flood routing, and probability models.
