Abstract: A storm surge risk map created by NOAA utilizing the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from hurricanes (SLOSH) model. Storm surge composites – Maximum Envelopes of Water (MEOWs) and Maximum of MEOWs (MOMs) – are created to assess and visualize storm surge risk under varying conditions.
Maximum of MEOWs (MOMs) in the attribute table represents the Maximum Envelopes of Water (MEOWs). MEOWs are created by computing the maximum storm surge resulting from up to 100,000 hypothetical storms simulated through each SLOSH grid of varying forward speed, radius of maximum wind, intensity (Categories 1-5), landfall location, tide level, and storm direction. This SLOSH model is based on category 1 storms and has been clipped to Miami-Dade County.
