Three-Dimensional Study of Hurricane-Induced Storm Surges on West Florida Coast

This study by Huijun Yang and Robert H. Weisberg from the College of Marine Science at the University of South Florida presents a comprehensive three-dimensional numerical model of storm surges along the West Florida coast, focusing on Category 2 and Category 4 hurricanes. Key findings illustrate the impact of different storm tracks on sea level elevations and storm surge patterns at specific coastal locations, including Tampa Bay, Naples, Cedar Key, and Apalachicola Bay, providing critical insights for better storm surge forecasting and coastal management.
