20. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse aide It neceaaary and identify by block ntjmber) 



A two-dimensional time-dependent numerical storm surge model using 

 orthogonal curvilinear coordinates is presented. The curvilinear coordinate 

 system is based on a conformal mapping of the interior region bounded by the 

 actual coast, the seaward boundary (taken as the 180-meter depth contour) and 

 two parallel lateral boundaries into a rectangle in the image plane. Three 

 regions of the Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico and two regions of the 

 eastern seaboard of the United States are mapped.
