Abstract
A two-dimensional numerical model is used to simulate storm surges in the Laptev Sea. The model is based on the finite-element method applied to the shallow water equations. The applied method allows for the building of boundary-adapted grids. For time integration the simple explicit method is used. To illustrate the quality of the calculations, surges that occurred in September 1989 and August 1992 are compared to numerical simulations.
