Hurricane Irma Assessment of Potential Coastal Change Impacts: NHC Advisory 41, 800 AM EDT SAT SEPT 9 2017

This dataset defines storm-induced coastal erosion hazards for the Florida, Georgia and South Carolina 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 Irma in September 2017. 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.
