Detailed Description
CoSMoS’s approach to projecting flood hazards: global winds, waves, tides, and anomalous water levels are scaled down to the local scale for projecting nearshore wave heights, flooding, and shoreline change, including beach erosion and cliff failures.

The Coastal Storm Modeling System
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) provides emergency responders and coastal planners with critical storm-hazard information such as flood extent, flood depth, duration of flooding, wave height, and currents that can be used to increase public safety, mitigate physical damages, and more effectively manage complex coastal settings. The CMHRP initially developed CoSMoS in collaboration with...
