This approach was first applied to Montego Bay, Jamaica, where wave and surge effects on Montego Bay from all storms in the National Hurricane Center's database (951 storms) were modeled using the TAOS storm hazard model to develop a comprehensive information base for this statistical study.
A workshop on the Montego Baystorm hazard assessment, co-sponsored by the Jamaica Institute of Engineers (JIE) and CDMP, was held in Kingston, Jamaica, in October 1997.
The statistical approach to estimating storm surge return periods, which was developed for the Montego Bay study, was subsequently applied to the State of Florida for the estimation of storm surge return periods.
One of the devastating impacts of the passage of a hurricane on a coastline is due to the occurrence of storm surge.
Storm surge is itself caused by a number of interactions between the hurricane, the water body over which it passes, and the nearby land masses.
For the 1997 Montego Baystorm hazard mapping assessment, the 10-, 25-, 50- and 100- year surge heights at Doctor’s Cave beach were estimated for the maximum likelihood estimate and the 90 percent, 95 percent and 99 percent confidence levels.
