Accurate predictions of storm surge are of importance in coastal areas. This book focuses on data-driven modelling using methods of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory for predicting storm surges. A number of new enhancements are presented: phase space dimensionality reduction incomplete time series phase error correction finding true neighbours optimization of chaotic model data assimilation multi-model ensembles These were tested on the case studies in the North Sea and Caribbean Sea. Chaotic models appear to be are accurate and reliableshort and mid-term predictors of storm surges aimed at supporting decision-makers for flood prediction and ship navigation.
