A high-resolution raster dataset of simulated maximum tsunami velocities in Santa Cruz, California, based on the Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) tsunami scenario.
This dataset was created to further extend the scope of the SAFRR project by creating detailed hydrodynamic simulations at three harbor locations in California. For the locations of 1) Oakland/Alameda, 2) Half Moon Bay, and 3) Santa Cruz, simulations at approximately 5+m resolution were performed using the high-order Boussinesq-type model COULWAVE. The Oakland/Alameda simulation area focuses on the major port facilities in the area and the Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz simulations focus on Pillar Point Harbor and Santa Cruz Harbor, respectively.

Data on tsunami wave velocity represent a simulated scenario tsunami, therefore true values are unavailable for testing accuracy, and no logical accuracy tests were conducted. Results were examined by the modeler using ArcGIS 10.3.1 visualization methods to verify that simulation results were sensical and within expected boundaries.
No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted.
Dataset is considered complete based on the scope of the study area as described in the abstract.
Horizontal accuracy of coordinates was performed using ArcGIS Pro visualization methods. Data were viewed in conjunction with satellite imagery to verify horizontal positioning of modeled data.
A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has not been conducted

A weakly-dispersive and rotational “Boussinesq-type” modeling approach was used to simulate tsunami wave propagation to determine maximum wave amplitude and velocity using the COULWAVE model (Lynett and Liu, 2002).
