SLOSH model output / storm surge forecast model

#1 Postby WxGuy1 » Mon Oct 24, 2005 12:08 am

Here is the latest SLOSH model output. This model helps forecast storm surge on a relatively fine scale.

Near and south of Naples: ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/users/surge/w35_fmy_EOHW.gif

Florida Keys: ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/users/surge/w35_key_EOHW.gif

Miama area: ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/users/surge/w35_mia_EOHW.gif

Lake Okeechobee (note >20ft surge!): ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/users/surge/w35_oke_EOHW.gif

Zoomed in version of Miami-Dade area: ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/users/surge/ ... e_EOHW.tif

I've been looking for these kinds of surge maps all season. How did you find these, and is there a link we can use to get them for other/future locations?

I found the link from another source. I don't know if there's an actual webpage for this... I just go to ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/pub/users/surge and look at the files in that folder. A storm near Louisiana may have SLOSH model up at http://www.hurricane.lsu.edu/floodprediction/ as well.

At least it appears Naples will miss the worst of the surge.

Can the dikes around Lake Okeechobee contain a 20 ft surge?
