  • Abstract
    The National Weather Service has developed a hurricane storm surge model, SLOSH, for real-time surge forecasts as a hurricane threatens. The model is being applied to 22 basins, covering most of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coastal areas of the United States. Recently, the model has been used as a tool for hurricane evacuation planners to delineate areas of potential hurricane flooding.
