Hurricane Maria Assessment of Potential Coastal Change Impacts: NHC Advisory 41, 0800 AM EDT TUE SEPT 26 2017
Description
This dataset defines storm-induced coastal erosion hazards for the North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware coastline. The analysis was based on a storm-impact scaling model that used observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast would respond to the direct landfall of Hurricane Maria in September 2017. Storm-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, were compared to beach and dune elevations to determine the probabilities of the three types of coastal change: collision (dune erosion), overwash, and inundation. All hydrodynamic and morphologic variables are included in this dataset.
