JRC has developed the first storm surge calculation system for the Tropical Cyclones (TCs) included in the Global Disasters Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) in 2011. The TCs are not the only weather system that can generate a storm surge event, therefore a new Storm Surge Calculation System (SSCS) has been developed in 2013, to simulate the storm surge also in Europe.
JRC has recently developed and implemented a new storm surge system, using a new hydrodynamic code and new atmospheric forecasts, creating several new SSCS bulletins and TCs GDACS web pages. This report describes these new procedures developed. (hide)
