MD iMAP: Maryland Storm Surge - Hurricane Storm Surge

Description

This is a MD iMAP hosted service layer. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov. The storm surge zones data used in this application were generated using the Sea - Lake - and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model. SLOSH is a computerized model run by the National Weather Service to estimate storm surge heights resulting from historical - hypothetical - or predicted hurricanes. The model creates its estimates by assessing the pressure - size - forward speed - track - and wind data from a storm. Graphical output from the model displays color-coded storm surge heights for a particular area. The calculations are applied to a specific locale's shoreline - incorporating the unique bay and river configurations - water depths - bridges - roads - and other physical features. This file is generated as part of the Hazards Analysis within the Hurricane Evacuation Study for the Maryland Western Shore.
