1 Integration Tide Gauge and Satellite Altimetry for Storm Surge and Sea Level change prediction. Ole B. Andersen and Y. Cheng (DTU, Denmark) Xiaoli Deng, M. Steward, N Idris, and Zahra Gharineiat (Uni NewCastle, Australia)

2 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 2DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Overview Why use satellite altimetry Crital issues: Spatio-temporal sampling vs surge/cyclone Availability and accuracy Accuracy degradation (Coastal and rain). Reliability of surge capturing Importance of residual range corr errors: Ocean tide correction Merging with tide gauges (spatial temporal correlation) Hindcast / forecast modelling Test region: North European Shelf Great Barrier Reef (Cyclone Helen and Larry) Conclusions. Queenland surge

11 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 11DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Last devastating storm surge in Britain – 1953 ”Data for validation?”

12 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 12DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark High Water in Hvide Sande Simple 2 and 3 std. deviation test on ”high water”

13 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 13DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Satellite Obs One versus two satellite (TOPEX/ENVISAT) Degradation not an issue

14 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 14DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Great Barrier Reef – Summer Cyclones Helen (January, 04, 2008) Larry (March 19th, 2006)

15 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 15DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Sea Level and Storm Surges Critial issues: √ Spatio-temporal sampling vs surge/cyclone √ Availability and accuracy Accuracy degradation (Coastal and rain).

16 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 16DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Tide Correction Models Remove residual tidal signal using the ”pointwise tide model. This enhances The spatial correlation between tide gauge and

17 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 17DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Spatio-temporal Correlation TOPEX / JASON (17 years)ERS / ENVISAT (12 years)

18 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 18DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Temporal Correlation at Newlyn After Detiding – temporal correlation = 0.93 (0.89 FES 2004 / GOT4.7)

19 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 19DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Sea Level prediction CAN WE PREDICT/WARN ABOUT INCREASED SEA LEVEL ”STORM SURGES” FROM SATELLITE ALTIMETRY????? Main issues: Sampling (fixed tracks, sampling 9 / 17 or 35 days Availability of ACCURATE real time data (1-6 hours) Capture the Surge by the altimeter Merging Tide gauge and Altimetry (observe the same signal) Establish warning – ”hindcast” high water.

20 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 20DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Combing Tide gauges and Altimetry Small time scale, Large spatial scales, high correlation T/P + Gauges Least squares fit in every T/P observation Regression Model

21 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 21DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Integrating using Neural Network Test on using 4 gauges along coast of Norway. Training using one T/P time series Predicting other satellite points. Higher temporal correlation using Neural Network than regression method.

22 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly, Gothenburg, Sweden, July, 2013 22DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Satellite altimetry delivers: –Sea surface height –Wave height –Wind Speed predefined tracks+sampling Satellite altimetry has high temporal/spatial correlation with tide gauges Huge potential for ”high water forecasting” with tide gauges offers huge potential for improved warning in the future Comming satellites (Cryosat + Sentinel-3) might offer even better prediction in the future (higher resolution + across track coverage) Having vacation in Venice this summer…….
