Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains information on the probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion (collision, inundation and overwash) for each 100-meter (m) section of the Puerto Rico coast for category 1-5 hurricanes. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model that uses observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast will respond to the direct landfall of category 1-5 hurricanes. Hurricane-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, are compared to beach and dune elevations to determine the probabilities of three types of coastal change: collision (dune erosion), overwash, and inundation. Data on dune and cliff morphology (dune crest and toe elevation, cliff top and toe elevation) and hydrodynamics (storm surge, wave setup and runup) are also included in this data set. As new morphology observations and storm predictions become available, this analysis will be updated to describe how coastal vulnerability to storms will vary in the future. The data presented here include the dune and cliff morphology observations, as derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) surveys.

Purpose:

To provide data on the probability of hurricane-induced coastal erosion hazards for the coast of Puerto Rico.

Data_Set_Credit:

The predicted elevations of combined high tide and storm surge for category 1-5 hurricanes were obtained from the Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System (CARICOOS) Storm Surge Atlas for Puerto Rico, a tightly-coupled hydrodynamic and wind wave model developed with the Advance Circulation Model (ADCIRC) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) by Benitez-Menendez and Mercado-Irizarry (2015). The algorithm estimates the maximum storm surge elevation during hypothetical hurricane scenarios at each computational node of an unstructured mesh that covers the Caribbean Sea, extending between latitudes 9 degrees North to 24 degrees North and longitudes 72 degrees West to 58 degrees West, with a spacing of 14 m nearshore and 13 kilometers (km) in deep water. The data used represents the Maximum of the Maximum (MOM) storm surge elevations modeled, providing the expected worst-case surge during an extreme storm, assuming no sea level rise.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data gaps exist for coastlines in Puerto Rico without sandy beaches or rocky cliffs (such as mangroves or river deltas) where elevation metrics do not exist. In addition, gaps may be present where the modeled total water level was determined to be invalid by the analyst. No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.

Completeness_Report:

These data include dune and cliff morphology, along with hurricane hydrodynamic data used to generate probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion. Elevation data from lidar surveys were not included. Measurements were collected approximately every 10-m and summarized to 100-m segments.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Horizontal accuracy of the lidar digital elevation model (DEM) is 1 meter. The nearshore ADCIRC model grid resolution is 14 m, and each Xbeach transect with accompanying morphology is approximately 100 m apart in the alongshore direction. Data are referenced to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) coordinate system.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Vertical accuracy for hydrodynamic measurements (surge, setup, and runup) is dependent on input data. No quantitative comparisons have been made, but qualitative storm surge model predictions match well with the observations. The significant wave height predictions, although in phase with the observations in that the time occurrence of the peaks match, the model predictions tend to be much larger than the measurements. No other accuracy checks were performed. Vertical accuracy for dune and cliff morphology (dune and cliff crest and toe elevation) data is dependent on the positional accuracy of the lidar data. Estimated accuracy of lidar surveys are +/- 15 centimeters (cm). 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) and the accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and aircraft-attitude measurements. Data are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) coordinate system.

A lidar survey of Puerto Rico that was used to estimate dune morphology variables (DHIGH, DLOW, DHIrms, DLOrms).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

For dune morphology data: Elevation data from lidar surveys (2018 USACE PR) were interpolated in MATLAB (R2021a) to a gridded domain that was rotated parallel to the shoreline and had a resolution of 10 meters in the long-shore 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 (dune crest and dune toe) were extracted from the elevation grid in MATLAB using methods described in Stockdon and others (2012). Dune morphology data were then summarized to 100-meter sections. Sections with greater than 75 percent of the data missing were flagged with the invalid number of 999. The 100-m smoothed dune crest (DHIGH), toe (DLOW) and root mean square (DHIrms, DLOrms) error for each section are then used to compute probabilities.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

For hydrodynamic data: One dimensional XBeach models were set up around the island, spaced approximately 100 m apart. Inputs included the maximum of the maximum (MOM) significant wave heights and MOM storm surge values, along with variable bottom friction due to coral coverage. For each hurricane category, the XBeach models were run for 60 minutes. The last thirty-four minutes of each sixty-minute time series of runup computed by XBeach were analyzed to calculate wave setup and the 2% exceedance value of runup. Reading of the netCDF XBeach output files and subsequent calculations were done in MATLAB (R2021a). This resulted in the hydrodynamics (SURGE, SETUP, RUNUP), which was used an input for the next step.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Probabilities of coastal erosion hazards are based on estimating the likelihood that the beach system will experience erosion and deposition patterns consistent with collision, overwash, or inundation regimes. The regimes were calculated by using values of dune and cliff morphology and mean and extreme water levels (hydrodynamics) for each 100-m section, such that probability of collision occurs when extreme water levels reach the dune or cliff toe; overwash when extreme water levels reach the dune crest or cliff top; and inundation when mean water levels reach the dune crest or cliff top. Probabilities were calculated in MATLAB (R2021a) and exported in ArcGIS shapefile (.shp) format using MATLAB shapewrite.m. This produced the probabilities of collision, overwash, inundation, mean water level and extreme water level data for category 1 through 5 hurricanes, found in the final shapefile (PR_PCOI_line.shp). For details on modeling parameterization, refer to the methods in Stockdon and others (2012).
