Storm Surge under Sea Level Rise

The individual storm surge and probabilistic surge hazard under sea level rise (SLR) in the Tampa Bay region, Florida were examined using ADCIRC+SWAN in this project. Four SLR scenarios (0 m, 0.65 m, 1.30 m, and 1.95 m) were investigated, and 188 synthetic tropical cyclones selected to represent local meteorology were simulated within each SLR scenario. Data is useful for researchers, planners, and engineers interested in how individual storm surge and probabilistic surge hazard will change under different SLR scenario in the Tampa Bay area. More information about this project including discussion of results are published in the paper "Physical Drivers of Changes in Probabilistic Surge Hazard under Sea Level Rise", referenced in Related Work.
