Description:

Abstract:

This dataset defines storm-induced coastal erosion hazards for the Texas and Louisiana coastline. The analysis was based on a storm-impact scaling model that used observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast would respond to the direct landfall of Tropical Storm Bill in June 2015. Storm-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, were compared to beach and dune elevations to determine the probabilities of the three types of coastal change: collision (dune erosion), overwash, and inundation. All hydrodynamic and morphologic variables are included in this dataset.

Purpose:

To provide data on the probability of hurricane-induced coastal erosion hazards for the Texas and Louisiana coast post-Tropical Storm Bill.

Data_Set_Credit:

The predicted elevations of storm surge were extracted from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model, which has been employed by NOAA in inundation risk studies and operational storm surge forecasting. Wave runup and setup conditions were generated using NOAA's WaveWatch III model.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.

Completeness_Report:

This dataset includes dune morphology and hurricane hydrodynamic data used to generate probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion, elevation data from lidar surveys are not included. Measurements were collected approximately every 10 meters (m) and summarized to 1-kilometer (km) segments.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal accuracy was not estimated.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Vertical accuracy for hydrodynamic measurements (surge, setup, and runup) is dependent on input data. SLOSH model accuracy is estimated to be +/- 20 percent of the calculated value. No other accuracy checks were performed. Vertical accuracy for dune morphology (dune crest and toe elevation) data is dependent on the positional accuracy of the lidar data. Estimated accuracy of lidar surveys are +/- 15 centimeters. However, vertical accuracies may vary based on the type of terrain (for example, inaccuracies may increase as slope increases or with the presence of extremely dense vegetation), the accuracy of the global positioning system (GPS), and aircraft-attitude measurements.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

For dune morphology data: Elevation data from lidar surveys were interpolated in MATLAB (version 2017a) to a gridded domain that was rotated parallel to the shoreline and had a resolution of 10 m in the longshore direction and 2.5 m in the cross-shore direction. The interpolation method applied spatial filtering with a Hanning window that was twice as wide as the grid resolution. Dune morphology data were extracted from the elevation grid in MATLAB. Dune morphology data were then summarized to 1 km sections. Sections with greater than 75 percent of data missing were flagged with the invalid number of -999. The 1-km smoothed dune crest (DHIGH), toe (DLOW) and root mean square (RMS) error for each (DHIrms and DLOrms) were written to line shapefiles using MATLAB's shapewrite.m script.

Process_Description:

For hydrodynamic data: Water level was computed in MATLAB by adding storm surge from NOAA's Probabilistic Tropical Storm Surge (P- Surge) model (https://slosh.nws.noaa.gov/psurge2.0/) to wave setup and runup. The wave height and period used for calculating wave runup and setup came from the Wavewatch III model. Hydrodynamic parameters were calculated in MATLAB and exported into ArcGIS shapefile format.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Probabilities of coastal erosion hazards were based on estimating the likelihood that the beach system would experience erosion and deposition patterns consistent with collision (PCOL), overwash (POVW), or inundation (PIND) regimes. The regimes were calculated by using values of dune morphology and mean and extreme water levels for each 1 km section, such that the probability of collision (PCOL) occurs when extreme water levels reach the dune toe; overwash (POVW) when extreme water levels reach the dune crest; and inundation (PIND) when mean water levels reach the dune crest. Probabilities were calculated in MATLAB and exported using MATLAB's shapewrite.m script.

Process_Description:

Version 2.0: This previously published metadata record was updated as part of the version 2.0 revision, after it was identified that the DHIrms and DLOrms fields mistakenly defined the root mean squared error unit in square meters, instead of meters. This did not impact the data values reported in the shapefiles.
