Uncertainties in Coastal Flood Mapping-with a focus on the models
Peter Sheng
•Review science and definitions•Review methods for calculating BFE•Identify sources of uncertainty for BFE
• Input data, models, zone mapping•Recommend ways to improve uncertainty
![Page 25: Flooding in New York City 30 October 2012](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56813610550346895d9d866b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
FE = surge + tide + wave setup + precipitation + river flow
FEMA Base Flood Elevation:
BFE = 100-year SWL* + wave setup + 0.6 * controlling wave height

High wind and low pressure create a large bulge of water, which has no place to go over shallow water. It spills onto the coastline and floods the beach and properties, often extending many miles inland. Flood Elevation is:

Current Hurricane Wind Models • Realtime Models –
– High-Resolution WRF/HWRF (NCAR, NCEP)
– MM5 (FSU, UM, etc.)– GFDL – PBL, Windgen
• Analysis Wind Models – – H* Wind (NOAA/HRD)– Analytical Model (Holland,
NHC)
H*wind is the best analysis wind, including some land effect

Wave Setup and Runup
• Wave runup (R(t)) is the time-varying fluctuation of water-level elevation at the shoreline due to wave breaking.
• Wave setup (η), the time-averaged water level, is the super-elevation of still water at the shoreline, again due to wave breaking.
• The magnitude of both runup and setup are related to offshore wave period, wave height (H), and foreshore beach slope (β). The elevation of wave runup and setup are often calculated from modeled offshore wave conditions using field-data-based empirical parameterizations.
• During storm conditions, the wave runup and setup can double the elevation of water levels at the coast beyond that due to storm surge alone.

Figure 7-6. FEMA V- and A-Zones vs. UF V- and A-Zones in the Tarpon Springs study area.The buildings inside the yellow line are in the high risk flood area (V-Zone) according to theFEMA approach and in the low risk flood area (A-Zone) according to the UF analysis. Shadedareas are non-flooded areas (X-Zones) for the FEMA (red) and UF (green) approaches
FIRM - UF uses coupled surge model (CH3D) and wave model (SWAN) to produce wave setup and wave crest which are then added to the 100-yr still water level (SWL) to produce flood elevation.
