ABSTRACT
H. Poincaré This chapter introduces the main problems, motivations and objectives of the research. Storm surges have become one of the most disastrous natural events. The mechanism of storm surge generation and possible model predictions using hydroinformatics tools, such as physically-based and data-driven modeling are discussed. Previous and recent developments of chaotic modeling in predicting aquatic phenomena are explored. Several improvements on building a chaotic model from time series, advances in solving some issues, data assimilation and multi-model ensembles are proposed.
