Coastal managers and ocean engineers rely heavily on projected average and extreme wave conditions for planning and design purposes, but when working on a local or regional scale, are faced with much uncertainty as changes in the global climate impart spatially varying trends. Future storm conditions are likely to evolve in a fashion that is unlike past conditions and is ultimately dependent on the complicated interaction between the Earth’s atmosphere and ocean systems. Despite a lack of available data ...

This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and WAVE hydrodynamic model input files used for Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) sub-regional tier 2 simulations. Sub-regional tier 2 simulations cover portions of the Northern California open-coast region, from Point Arena to the California/Oregon state border, and they provide boundary conditions to higher-resolution simulations. Simulations are run for several storm events (covering a range of no storm, 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year coastal ...

These data contain maximum model-derived significant wave height (in meters) for the sea-level change and storm condition indicated.

These data contain model-derived maximum water levels (in meters) for the sea-level change and storm condition indicated.

These data contain maximum model-derived ocean currents (in meters per second) for the sea-level change and storm condition indicated.

These data contain geographic extents of projected coastal flooding, low-lying vulnerable areas, and maximum/minimum flood potential (flood uncertainty) associated with the storm and sea-level condition indicated.

These data contain maximum depth of flooding (cm) in the region landward of the present-day shoreline for the sea-level change and storm condition indicated.

This data set consists of 2D XBeach model input files used for Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) sub-regional tier 3 simulations. Sub-regional tier 3 simulations cover portions of the Northern California open-coast region for Humboldt, Del Norte, and Mendocino Counties, and they provide final modeled hazard outputs going into projected hazard products. Simulations are run for several storm events (covering a range of no storm, 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year coastal storm conditions) and sea-level ...

This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and WAVE hydrodynamic model input files used for Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) Tier 1 simulations. Tier 1 simulations cover the Northern California open-coast region, from the Golden Gate Bridge to the California/Oregon state border, and they provide boundary conditions to higher-resolution simulations. Simulations are run for several storm events (covering a range of no storm, 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year coastal storm conditions) and sea-level ...
