Dangers of Storm Surge
from Carolina Weather Group · host CarolinaWeatherGroup.com
This season has been a busy one for the National Hurricane Center! This week we are pleased to have someone who knows that all too well - Taylor Trogdon, a Senior Scientist/Meteorologist with the NHC Storm Surge Unit. The Storm Surge Unit is a small group of meteorologists and oceanographers specializing in predicting storm surge heights associated with landfalling tropical systems, primarily using their SLOSH model. Their efforts include developing highly-detailed mapping projections that support the issuance of Storm Surge Watches and Warnings for U.S. coastlines, which just recently became part of the suite of operational watches and warnings issued by the NWS.
