Application of the Storm Erosion Index (Sei) to Three Unique Storms

Efficient Real-time Erosion Early Warning System and Artificial Sand Dune Breaching on Haeundae Beach, Korea

“…Erosion may be one of the problems induced by the passage of a storm. Wehof et al (2014) have suggested a storm erosion index that incorporates both the storm tide and storm waves, as well as the storm duration. They performed a sensitivity analysis on the results and found that the wave steepness threshold used to separate erosion and accretion was particularly important.…”

Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment

“…Tropical cyclones and severe coastal storms can deliver wind, water and coastal hazards with the potential for widespread mortality and damages to cities, housing, transportation and energy infrastructure, ecosystems and agricultural lands (Burkett, 2011;NASEM, 2012;Bell et al, 2013;Wehof et al, 2014;Ward et al, 2016;Cheal et al, 2017;Godoi et al, 2018;Koks et al, 2019;Pinnegar et al, 2019). Storm planning is often tied to the Saffir -Simpson scale related to peak sustained wind speed (Izaguirre et al, 2021), with several indices focusing on storms' overall power and energy, size and translation speed to anticipate destructive potential (Knutson et al, 2015;Wang and Toumi, 2016;Parker et al, 2018;Hassanzadeh et al, 2020).…”

Quantifying Coastal Storm Impacts Using a New Cumulative Storm Impact Index (CSII) Model: Application Along the Virginia Coast, USA

“…Several approaches exist for identifying and quantifying the magnitude and potential impact of storms. These approaches tend to incorporate some aspect of wind energy (e.g., Bryant, 1988; Laface & Arena, 2021), wave energy (Dolan & Davis, 1992; Splinter et al., 2014), water‐level changes (Orford & Carter, 1995; Orford et al., 1992; Zhang, 1998; Zhang et al., 2001) or a combination of two or more of these processes (Kriebel & Dalrymple, 1995; Miller, 2001; Miller & Livermont, 2008; Wehof et al., 2014). Additional techniques for quantifying coastal storm frequency and magnitude have involved meteorological gridding of central low pressure systems (Hayden & Hayden, 2003).…”
