AbstractA multilinear regression (MLR) approach is developed to predict 3-hourly storm surge during the cool-season months (1 October–31 March 31) between 1979 and 2012 using two different atmospheric reanalysis datasets and water-level observations at three stations along the New York–New Jersey coast (Atlantic City, New Jersey; the Battery in New York City; and Montauk Point, New York). The predictors of the MLR are specified to represent prolonged surface wind stress and a surface sea level pressure minimum for a boxed region near each station. The regression underpredicts relatively large (≥95th percentile) storm maximum surge heights by 6.0%–38.0%. A bias-correction technique reduces the average mean absolute error by 10%–15% at the various stations for storm maximum surge predictions. Using the same forecast surface winds and pressures from the North American Mesoscale (NAM) model between October and March 2010–14, raw and bias-corrected surge predictions at the Battery are compared with raw output ...
