Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of storm damage potential was performed along the Texas coast centered about Clear Lake in Galveston Bay for the Johnson Space Center, NASA. The study dealt with numerical modeling of tides and frequency analyses of storm surge elevations associated with historical tropical and hypothetical storms to obtain extreme event storm surges. Results of the analyses were used to evaluate various alternatives for providing hurricane flood protection.
