Chesapeake Inundation Prediction System Elements

The Chesapeake Inundation Prediction System utilizes advanced forecasting elements to predict wind fields and major river discharges, focusing on the Middle Atlantic region. This system is crucial for assessing potential inundation events, particularly during nor’easters, such as those observed from November 10-13, 2009. It integrates data from NOAA, USGS, and other agencies to provide emergency management guidance and validate inundation forecasts. By visualizing and transmitting relevant data, stakeholders can make informed decisions to mitigate flood impacts.
