ESA StormSurgeCastNet Dataset

This is the dataset for the storm surge forecasting work of Ebel et al (2024), featuring the curation of a global and multi-decadal dataset of extreme weather induced storm surges as well as the implementation of neural networks for addressing the associated forecasting task. The provided dataset is multi-modal and features preprocessed in-situ tide gauge records as well as atmospheric reanalysis products and ocean state simulations. The models applied in this work learn to fuse the sparse yet accurate in-situ measurements with the global ocean and atmosphere state products. This way, more accurate storm surge forecasts are achieved, with predictions broadcasted to sites missing well-maintained tidal gauge infrastructure.
