|a Water resource management in South Florida faces nearly intractable
problems, in part due to weather and climate variability. Rising sea level and coastal
storm surge are two phenomena with significant impacts on natural systems, fresh
water supplies and flood drainage capability. However, decision support information
regarding management of water resources in response to storm surge is not well
developed. In an effort to address this need we analyze long term tidal records from
KeyWest, Pensacola and Mayport Florida to extract surge distributions, to which we
apply a nonlinear eustatic sea level rise model to project storm surge return levels
and periods. Examination of climate connections reveals a statistically significant
dependence between surge distributions and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation
(AMO). Based on a recent probabilistic model for AMO phase changes, we develop
AMO-dependent surge distributions. These AMO-dependent surge projections are
used to examine the flood control response of a coastal water management structure
as an example of how climate dependent water resource forcings can be used in the
formulation of decision support tools. |
