Abstract

The sequence of Atlantic storms experienced by the UK during the winter of 2013/14 was very unusual. They led to widespread flooding on the west and southern coastlines of the UK and caused damage to the mainline railway between Plymouth and London. In this paper, an investigation of the severity of...
