Abstract

This study aims to use a generically integrated meteorological and hydrodynamic ensemble modelling system to quantitatively assess the effect of uncertainties arising from the numerical weather prediction (NWP) on the tide, surge and wave forecasts. The modelling system was applied to the English and Bristol Channels for the storm events occurred between 25th and 30th October 2004. The model results show that the accuracy of the predicted surge and waves can be considerably improved by the ensemble approach, particularly in predicting the storm peaks, when short-term predictions (T+2 day) are used.
