Abstract

Previous studies of hurricane storm surge models by Blain et al.,^ demon- strate the influence of model domain size and grid discretization on computed storm surge response. Applications of these modeling concepts are made for the simulation of hurricanes Camille and Kate. Maximum prediction errors, which are cast in terms of a Richardson error estimate, together with the depth at the location of these errors are used to assess convergence of the computed solution with respect
