50-Member Flood Ensemble of Hurricane Irene in Philadelphia

This dataset includes 50 ensemble flood scenarios for Hurricane Irene in Philadelphia. The results were produced from an established coupled modeling framework for the Deleware River Basin and Philadelphia that combines the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation model (DHSVM), Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM), and the Rapid Infrastructure Flood Tool (RIFT). DHSVM and FVCOM model outputs were used at the boundary of our study area (020402031008 HUC12 subwatershed) as RIFT forcing. Flood scenarios generated with a 50-member ensemble of Hurricane Irene simulations based on the US DOE Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) provided meteorological forcing to FVCOM and DHSVM models. E3SM precipitation is used in RIFT alongside DHSVM and FVCOM output. RIFT output includes peak flood depth rasters for each ensemble member.
