Queries were used to determine the number of storms of tropical origin that have impacted the State and each of its counties. A total of 76 storms of tropical origin passed over New York State between 1851 and 2005. Of these storms, 14 were classified as hurricanes. The remaining hurricanes...
Using best track parametric TC information for a set of 13 storms, SLOSH was found to be accurate to within 20% of the peak surge value (Glahn et al., 2009). In addition to the deterministic forecast, probabilistic forecasts are derived from the Probabilistic Storm Surge model (P-surge),...
