Recent evolution of surge-related events and assessment of coastal flooding risk on the eastern coasts of the English Channel

Abstract: Recent evolution of surge-related events and assessment of coastal flooding risk on the eastern coasts of the English Channel Abstract This paper is based on statistical analysis of hourly tide measurements for some 285 equivalent full years from the stations of Weymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Newhaven, Dover and Sheerness in the UK, and of Cherbourg, Le Havre, Dieppe, Boulogne, Calais and Dunkirk in France. For each tidal value, surge heights have been determined and correlated with hourly or three-hourly … Show more

“…For example, Pirazzoli et al (2006) found that wind from the north-west or south-west is associated with higher storm surges and flooding along coastlines flanking the English Channel. Littoral transport is sensitive to directional changes in wave climate due to wind direction changes.…”

“…De fait, et notamment en Manche, il existe une rare coïncidence entre les maximaux de ces deux processus souvent considérés comme statistiquement indépendants que sont la marée et la surcote (Costa et Delahaye, 2005 ;Pirazzoli et al, 2006 ;Caspar et al, 2007). Depuis 1960, et ce à l'échelle de toute la Manche, cette conjonction catastrophique pour les populations côtières a été observée 16 fois (pour des surcotes rarement supérieures à 1 m), alors que ces phénomènes (sup.…”

“…Depuis 1960, et ce à l'échelle de toute la Manche, cette conjonction catastrophique pour les populations côtières a été observée 16 fois (pour des surcotes rarement supérieures à 1 m), alors que ces phénomènes (sup. à 1 m) ont été enregistrés plus de 150 fois sur la même période (Pirazzoli et al, 2006(Pirazzoli et al, , 2007. De même, ces auteurs indiquent qu'aucune des 20 surcotes les plus élevées enregistrées en Manche sur la même période n'a coïncidé avec une marée astronomique de vive-eau.…”

“…flooding and erosion), especially for low and sandy beaches such as most part of the Belgian coast. The inverse barometer effect is equivalent to a 1-cm sea-level rise per hectopascal (hPa) of surface pressure drop and vice versa but the most important atmospheric factor are the onshore winds associated with moving mid-latitude low-pressure systems (Pirazzoli et al, 2005;Ullmann et al, 2007) and cause water to pile up against the coast.…”
