Abstract:Abstract. The impact of natural hazards such as storm surges and
waves on coastal areas during extreme tropical cyclone (TC) events can be
amplified by the cascading effects of multiple hazards. Quantitative
estimation of the marginal distribution and joint probability distribution
of storm surges and waves is essential to understanding and managing
tropical cyclone disaster risks. In this study, the dependence between storm
surges and waves is quantitatively assessed using the extreme value theory
(EVT) and t… Show more
