Tropical cyclones surges 1975-2007

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

This dataset includes a compilation of estimated storm surges triggered by tropical cyclones 1975-2007.

Description

It is based on three sources: 1) A compilation of best tracks dataset from WMO Regional Specialised Meteorological Centres (RSMCs) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs). As well as personal communication with Dr.

Varigonda Subrahmanyam, Dr. James Weyman, Kiichi Sasaki, Philippe CAROFF, Jim Davidson, Simon Mc Gree, Steve Ready, Peter Kreft, Henrike Brecht. 2) A GIS modeling based on an initial equation from Greg Holland, which was further modified to take into consideration the movement of the cyclones through time. 3) A Digital Elevation Model (SRTM). This product was designed by UNEP/GRID-Europe for the Global Assessment Report on Risk Reduction (GAR).
