21 ANYWHERE & Ferrara Storm Surge Modelling City of Stavanger have long been concerned about to developing better data and knowledge base related to challenges towards the sea, such as extreme weather, storm and wave impacts There are no good enough supervisors to handle, for example, wave challenges We believe that Anywhere's project is best served to get as good input data as possible, to achieve the project's goals, and not least solve the challenge of Stavanger CITY OF STAVANGER

22 RISK BASED DECISION SUPPORT Jan Håvard Skjetne Stavanger,

23 Why Local decision makers need more support to use weather forecasts The forecasts and prognoses are not targeted enough for local conditions and knowledge

24 Requirements for the Risk Analyser User requirement: Simple to use and use existing local knowledge Technical requirements: Easy to integrate Low cost Resilient & fault tolerant 24

25 Decision models Based on the risk and vulnerability analyses made by municipalities Assets Hazards Consequences Actions 26

26 Asset: A Hazard: Flood Rain: Heavy Wind: Svak vind Snow melting: Minimal Water level: Increasing Number of people: Risk for life and health: Big Probability for flooding: High Risk for houses and camping: Big Actions: Flood preventing measures and evacuation

44 STORM SURGE HAZARD IN ANYWHERE REGIONAL-LOCAL SCALE (PILOT SITE: STAVANGER) 22th May 2018

45 1. Introduction The storm surge phenomenon produces an anomalous rise in water level. It is forced by wind-driven water circulation towards or away from the coast and by atmospheric pressure-driven changes of the water level; i.e. the inverse barometric effect (WMO 2011). French Coast Xynthia storm Feb-2010 Flooding of coastal areas UK east coast Xaver storm Dec-2013 Coastal erosion

66 ANYWHERE & Ferrara Storm Surge Modelling Unfortenately City of Stavanger has not received any financial support in the Anywhere project, in addition to the contributions to our partners. However, via the Norwegian Environment Agency, from the Norwegian Space Center, we have received some fundings which we can use to obtain better local data as important input to Sintef and Ferrara. Satellite data combination may increase the amount of base data used for mapping and monitoring CITY OF STAVANGER

67 Pilot Project Copernicus Monitoring 2018 The plan is to develop a wave model outside Stavanger. Data from these calculations are compared with satellite data, this to be verified the precision level of such models The plan is to develop a wave model outside Stavanger. Data from these calculations are compared with satellite data, this to be verified the precision level of such models CITY OF STAVANGER

68 Copernicus In cooperation with the MET, a fine scale wave model is established, which in addition to taking in waves from the ocean, also calculate waves that are generated locally A comparison of Met and one of our nationally leading consultants in this field, Norconsult, as well as in consultation with the Norwegian Mapping Authority, will provide good "best practice input" for geo-stipulation in marine areas CITY OF STAVANGER
