Abstract
The National Ocean Service's Storm Surge Partnership Project is a demonstration effort aimed at improving coastal resiliency to inundation through use of emerging technologies. The project's objectives include determining the needs of the management community, assembling needed observation data, improving inundation mapping, testing a prototype storm surge model, and developing innovative management decision-support tools. The Alabama and Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast region was selected as the project study area because of well-documented past hurricane events such as Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Additionally, this region has widely available observational data such as high-resolution topographic, oceanographic, and meteorological data for use in modeling, mapping, and visualization.
