Brief: Each .mat file contains two variables: alldate - a vector of dates using the Matlab datenum format surgenon – a vector of de-trended storm surge values (units: Meters) De-trending is carried out by removing a 365-day running average. For all time points within the first half-year and the final half-year, the running average centered on the middle of the respective year is removed. A full description of the calculations used in generating the data is in the journal article. If you would like the data in a different file type, contact James Booth.
