Abstract

PURPOSE: This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the development of a computer model to examine flooding scenarios with pre-defined storm surge and extreme rainfall due to tropical systems, using the Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) numerical modeling system (Downer et al. 2005).This model serves as a platform for future deployment of GSSHA models on large basins in this type of setting with enhanced Military Hydrologic Simulator capabilities. BACKGROUND:The military faces multiple environmental hazards around the world.Simulations of various environmental conditions can be used to help troops understand, assess, and prepare for potential hazards.Hydrologic simulations can be used to assess water-related hazards, such as flooding, high currents, erosion, and drought.
