NCCOS Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (EESLR-NGOM): Simulated Return Period Stillwater Elevation (NCEI Accession 0170340)

Preview graphic

This dataset comprises stillwater storm surge projections for 2100 for the northern Gulf of Mexico (Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle) using a high-resolution coupled SWAN+ADCIRC model (Bilskie et al., 2016a). These results are from a predictive model in a scenario-based modeling framework that makes projections under sea level difference scenarios.

There are two categories of stillwater storm surge model outputs for the 1% and 0.2% annual chance occurrence probability -- meaning 1% or 0.2% chance of being met or exceeded in any given year -- resulting from the Ecological Effect of Sea Level Rise Northern Gulf of Mexico (EESLR-NGOM) project: 1) Water surface elevation of stillwater storm surge [ 1 GB total file size, 150 files] and 2) Inundation depth above ground of stillwater storm surge [ 1 GB total file size, 150 files]. The boundaries for the three study regions are also included. For a complete description of the methods used to generate these results, please see the Bilskie et al. (2017) publication, referenced in the ‘Cited Publications’ section below. Each stillwater storm surge model output, described below, is provided for the following 5 sea level rise scenarios (Parris et al. 2012): Initial Condition (no change from c. 2000 mean sea level (MSL)), Low (+0.2m from MSL), Intermediate-Low (+0.5m from MSL), Intermediate-High (+1.2m from MSL), and High (+2.0m from MSL).

Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency	As needed
Supplemental Information	In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. Submission Package ID: HLL84M
Purpose	Data in this archive package are the result of the Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise (EESLR) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) project. The EESLR-NGOM project is an integrated field observation and modeling project that provides resource managers in the northern Gulf of Mexico with the knowledge and tools to prepare for the impacts of astronomic tides and hurricane storm surge from sea level rise. This multidisciplinary project, led by Louisiana State University, builds on laboratory experiments and field observations and experiments at three National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) -- Grand Bay, MS, Weeks Bay, AL, and Apalachicola, FL -- to inform a suite of predictive models using a scenario-based modeling framework. These model projections are based on a number of carbon emission scenarios defined in Parris et al. (2012). Data in this accession was funded by the NOAA Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) Ecological Effects of Sea Level Rise Program under award NA10NOS4780146 to Louisiana State University. Three different archival packages contain data resulting from the EESLR-NGOM project: 1) Storm surge, including water surface elevation and inundation depth above ground data for both simulated storm surge and maximum of maximums (MOMs) for ten modeled historic storms; 2) Stillwater storm surge (1% and 0.2% annual chance occurrence probability) water surface elevation and inundation depth above ground within three study areas across the NGOM; 3) Salt marsh productivity and mean high water, using the Hydro-MEM model. Search for EESLR-NGOM or see the additional documents referenced at the NCEI archive page for links.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives. Note: these data were developed to assess the effects of future coastal change on stillwater storm surge given varying scenarios of sea level rise and should not be used to supplant existing floodplain map products
