Detailed Description
Examples of projections from the Our Coast, Our Future (OCOF) viewer for Stinson Beach in San Francisco, California, for daily conditions for October 31, 2016 (left), daily conditions plus 50 centimeters (20 inches) of sea level rise-expected by about mid-century (center), and a 100-year (or 1 percent) storm with 50 centimeters (20 inches) of sea-level rise (right). These projections demonstrate how neglecting to plan for storm impacts could lead to a substantial underestimation of risk along the coast.

Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS)
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) makes detailed predictions of storm-induced coastal flooding, erosion, and cliff failures over large geographic scales. CoSMoS was developed for hindcast studies, operational applications and future climate scenarios to provide emergency responders and coastal planners with critical storm-hazards information that can be used to increase public safety...
