Description:
Abstract:
This dataset defines storm-induced coastal erosion hazards for the Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida 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 Hurricane Zeta in October 2020. Storm-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, were compared to beach and dune elevations to determine the probabilities of three types of coastal change: collision (dune erosion), overwash, and inundation.
Purpose:
To provide data on the probability of storm-induced coastal erosion hazards for the Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coast for Hurricane Zeta.

Data_Set_Credit:
The predicted elevations of storm surge were extracted from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (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.
