Abstrakt: Summary: Accurate predictions of storm surge are of importance in coastal areas. This book focuses on data-driven modelling using methods of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory for predicting storm surges. A number of new enhancements are presented: phase space dimensionality reductionincomplete time seriesphase error correctionfinding true neighboursoptimization of chaotic modeldata assimilationmulti-model ensemblesThese were tested on the case studies in the North Sea and Caribbean Sea. Chaotic models appear to be are accurate and reliable short and mid-term predictors of storm surges aimed at supporting decision-makers for flood prediction and ship navigation.
