Storm Surge Analysis (EM 1110-2-1412), Appendices

The appendices give the references and engineering symbols used in the manual and detailed support for the methods. They include criteria for determining the standard project hurricane and probable maximum hurricane wind fields, covering meteorological parameters, pressure distribution, and wind field specification.

They also cover atmospheric pressure setup, hurricane-generated surface waves, and an application of the historical frequency method, which gives a worked example of the statistical approach in Chapter 3.
