STORM SURGE MODELING OF NOSHAHR PORT IN SOUTHERN COAST OF THE CASPAIN SEA

Noshahr port is approximately located in the middle of southern coastline of the Caspian Sea (Lat.: 36.655 degree, Long.: 51.506 degree). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the surge levels in the vicinity of Noshahr Port. The contribution of different driving forces such as Mean Seal Level (MSL) pressure, wind components and wave radiation stresses in the total surge of this area is also estimated. There is almost no tide contribution to surge level in the Caspian Sea
