| Abstract: | Phenomenal storm surge levels associated with cyclones are common in East Coast of India. The coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh
are in rapid stride of myriad marine infrastructural developments. The safe elevations of coastal structures need a long-term
assessment of storm surge conditions. Hence, past 50 years (1949–1998), tropical cyclones hit the Bay are obtained from Fleet
Naval Meteorological & Oceanographic Center, USA, and analyzed to assess the storm surge experienced around Kakinada and along
south Andhra Pradesh coast. In this paper, authors implemented Rankin Hydromet Vortex model and Bretschneider’s wind stress
formulation to hindcast the surge levels. It is seen from the hindcast data that the November, 1977 cyclone has generated
highest surge of the order of 1.98 m. Extreme value analysis is carried out using Weibull distribution for long-term prediction.
The results reveal that the surge for 1 in 100-year return period is 2.0 m. Further the highest surge in 50 years generated
by the severe cyclone (1977) is numerically simulated using hydrodynamic model of Mike-21. The simulation results show that
the Krishnapatnam, Nizampatnam and south of Kakinada have experienced a surge of 1.0, 1.5 and 0.75 m, respectively. |
