This is a Web based GIS tool to browse ESTOFS Atlantic storm surge model in an interactive and flexible environment. This is an experimental web portal for graphic visualization of the operational and experimental results from the storm surge and tide forecast systems being developed and tested by the Storm Surge Modeling Team at the Office of Coast Survey at NOAA National Ocean Service.
ESTOFS model output is NOT a total water level guidance. Actual water levels can be significantly higher than forecast due to waves, steric effect and other components not presently included in the ESTOFS. Please check with your regional National Weather Service forecast office for the official water level forecast.
The Maximal storm tide (storm surge + astronomical tide) is computed by the model over 168 hours forecast cycle in meters above Mean Sea Level (MSL).
