Frequency of Coastal Flooding at Roughans Point, Broad Sound, Lynn Harbor, and the Saugus-Pines River System.

Abstract

This report describes the establishment of frequency curves for water levels caused by the combination of tide, storm surge, and waves for a coastal area just north of Boston. The project procedure involves the conjunctive use of five modeling components, including numerical storm surge, numerical wave propagation, physical wave overtopping, flood routing, and probability models.
