One contributing factor to coastal flooding is caused by the action of wind and atmospheric pressure pushing water to higher than normal levels. The most destructive occurrences of this type of flooding happen in a small number of extreme events. Models used to predict storm surge flooding must therefore consider these events in particular detail, alongside more average conditions. This presentation demonstrates a tool developed to look at NOAA storm surge models during extreme events. It also presents some insights into the model behavior found through use of this tool.
