Field traces in February 2011 of high-water levels from 2010 Hurricane Earl, as calibration for sea floods of the past 1,000 years on Anegada, British Virgin Islands
Description
This part of the data release provides a slightly expanded georeferenced catalog of field evidence for maximum water levels attained near the south shore of Anegada during 2010 Hurricane Earl, of category 4. The catalog consists of 13 localities observed in February 2011, six months after the hurricane. Wrack of plant fragments was the high-water indicator identified at most of them. Elevations have been estimated by extracting bare-ground elevations from a 2014 lidar survey, and by adjusting for heights above ground to which the wrack extended. The localities include two in eastern Anegada that were not reported in https://doi.org/10.5194/adgeo-38-21-2014).
