High Tide Flooding Products from NOAA CO-OPS

Description

High tide flooding is the overflow or excess accumulation of water that covers typically dry coastal land and occurs during high tides. As relative sea levels rise, high tide flooding (HTF) is occurring more frequently, even on sunny days. HTF creates short term impacts like road closures, overflowing storm drains, and temporary business closures. Over the long term, recurrent HTF causes more severe impacts like damage to below-ground infrastructure and degraded wetlands.

Through NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS), the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) and its predecessors have gathered oceanographic data along our nation's coasts for over 200 years to protect life, property, and the environment. Serving both the public and other government agencies, CO-OPS is the authoritative source for accurate, reliable, and timely water-level and current measurements that support safe and efficient maritime commerce, sound coastal management, and recreation. As part of those roles, CO-OPS offers a suite of interactive products that helps communities understand when, where, and how often high tide flooding may occur along the coast to better inform their coastal flood planning and mitigation efforts. The suite includes a summary of historical HTF days as well as Monthly and Annual HTF Outlooks which are produced for specific stations.
