Overview  Background  Goals & Objectives  Proposed Methodology  Anticipated Results  Timeline  Summary Tuckerton, N.J., inundated on Oct. 30 by the storm surge from Superstorm Sandy. Photo: U.S. Coast Guard

Background  Storm surge is often the greatest threat to life and property from a tropical or extratropical storm  Storm surge vs. storm tide  Complex hazard, difficult to convey without visualization tools Image from NOAA

Vertical Datums  Plethora of tidal and geodetic datums Images from NOAA

Population Density  Increasing population density along the U.S. Coast Image from U.S. Department of Commerce Source: The Third National Climate Assessment, 2014 Santa Monica, CA

Climate Change & Sea Level Rise  Climate change is occurring!!  RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) – projections of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations as a result of radiative forcings.  Each RCP consists of an ensemble (collection of models that show slightly different possible outcomes) of climate models Source: Stocker et al. 2013

Climate Change & Sea Level Rise  Sea Level Rise is inevitable Source: Stocker et al. 2013

Tropical Cyclones  The National Hurricane Center has various tools to convey storm surge/tide. Source: NOAA Source: National Hurricane Center Source: Gibbs Source: National Weather Service SLOSH Above Ground or NAVD88 P-Surge Above NGVD29 PHISH Above Ground  Resolution is generally 625 meters.  Only available when a watch or warning is issued

Extratropical Cyclones  Can also cause life threatening storm surge ETSS – 5km resolution Above MSL ESTOFS – 2.5km resolution Above MSL Cannot simulate tides, waves, river effects or overland flooding Can simulate tides, but not waves, river effects or overland flooding Source: National Weather Service  Neither model can communicate overland impacts

Extratropical Cyclones Source: ArcMap

Extratropical Cyclones  Current products used during webinars  Feedback from Hurricanes Irene and Sandy ETSS model Source: National Weather Service

Goals/Objectives  Implement storm surge, astronomical tide, and storm tide grids in the Graphical Forecast Editor (GFE)  Extract storm tide grid from GFE, for use in ArcMap  Create inundation raster  Develop a web-based graphical visualization tool to convey potential inundation from storm tide associated with extratropical cyclones. Source: National Weather Service

Study Area Source: ArcMap

Methodology & Anticipated Results Obtain a high resolution digital elevation model (3m DEM) Implement storm surge, astronomical tides and storm tide grids in GFE Export storm tide grid from GFE (netCDF) to PC (python script) Convert netCDF to a raster file Project and resample raster to match horizontal resolution and vertical datum of DEM Extrapolate values along the immediate coast overland Calculate potential inundation Display inundation raster on web-based satellite basemap

Timeline November - December 2015 Obtain 3 meter Digital Elevation Model data Set up Surge and Astronomical Tide grids in GFE January - February 2016 Write script to push netCDF file to PC Perform calculations and analysis in ArcMap Develop model in modelbuilder March - May 2016 Develop web- based visualization tool Draft final paper and presentation June - July 2016 Turn in Final Paper Present at the Esri International User Conference in San Diego, CA

Summary  Storm surge and storm tide confusion  Vertical datums are confusing too  Increasing coastal population density and sea level rise  NWS surge products - too many vertical datums  Tide gauges  Feedback from Irene and Sandy  Implement GFE grids  Develop web-based graphical visualization tool Images from NASA
