AI Technical Summary
In the prediction of high tide floods in coastal areas, existing technologies rely on numerical models based on ocean dynamics, which are computationally complex and costly, and are difficult to quantify the uncertainty of non-tidal factors. Statistical models based on historical data lack short-term flood prediction capabilities and cannot meet the requirements of high accuracy and timeliness.
Using a probabilistic statistical approach, historical hourly water level observation data from coastal tide gauge stations were obtained, preprocessed, and a climatological probability distribution model was constructed. Combined with a decay persistence prediction model, the daily cumulative flood probability was calculated, and a warning probability threshold was set to mark high-risk days for high tide floods.
It enables rapid application to any coastal station with sufficient observation time, providing high-precision short-term forecasts of high tide floods. It is open and can access advanced sea level anomaly numerical, statistical, or machine learning forecast results to improve forecasting skills.
