| Zusammenfassung |
| For the design of cost-effective coastal defence a precise estimate
is needed of the 1/10 000 per year
storm surge. A more precise estimate requires more observations. Therefore, the three greatest storm surges
that hit the northern part of the Holland Coast in the 18th century are reconstructed.
The reconstructions are based on paintings, drawings, written records and shell deposits that have recently appeared.
The storm-surge levels of these storms have been estimated using numerical modelling of the coastal processes. Here we
show how these reconstructions can be used in combination with extreme value statistics to give a more confident
estimate of low probability events. |
