There are eight associated flood mask and flood depth shapefiles: one for each of four nearshore wave energy return periods (rp; 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years), the pre-storm scenario (base) and the post-storm scenarios. Purpose: These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify and assess possible areas of vulnerability to wave-driven flooding. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.

Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in Esri format, this metadata file may include some Esri-specific terminology.

Attribute values are extents of modeled flood projections due to extreme wave and sea-level conditions and presence or absence of coral reefs and therefore cannot be validated against observations. Values are within a reasonable and expected range. Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted. Values are within reasonable and expected range.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Flood extent polygons were built by creating a minimum-bounding polygon between flood points along adjacent shore normal profiles for 4 modeled storm return periods (10, 50, 100, or 500 years) in current conditions and in post-storm conditions. The resulting 16 polygons were clipped and/or extended to a simplified coastline based on the 0-m contour used in the elevation model and edited to remove spurious results. The edited polygons were merged into a single shapefile (flood mask) and are identified by a unique floodmask attribute in the following format: PuertoRico_rp[#]_[scenario], where [#] = wave energy return period (10, 50, 100, or 500 years), and [scenario] = current conditions (base) or post-storm conditions. See Storlazzi and others (2021) for a detailed description of model development and methodologies.
