Session Proposal: Improved observational and modeling skills to understand tropical cyclones and winter storms and their impacts in the coastal zone (AGU25)

OS014
Improved observational and modeling skills to understand tropical cyclones and winter storms and their impacts in the coastal zone

Session ID#: 248192

Session Description:
Storm systems are major natural hazards that have significant impact on coastal regions. In addition to wind intensity and surge, storms can dramatically modify hydrography and circulation, potentially shifting the trajectory of seasonal conditions and/or contributing to subsequent compound events. Thus, the impacts of storm events can be direct (e.g., storm surge) or indirect (i.e., changes to background conditions), both of which can have significant consequences for natural ecosystems and infrastructure. However, storm conditions present practical challenges to collecting observations and modeling which limit our understanding of their compound effect on coastal and estuarine systems. Therefore, reliable observational systems need to be developed in conjunction with advanced warning modeling systems.  This session serves as a forum to share knowledge of storm systems in coastal environments. Research topics include but are not limited to: observations and hydrodynamic modeling; impact of coastal hazards on coastal systems; evaluate physical/ecological dynamics of such events.
