Brief project summary:
The Chesapeake Inundation Prediction System (CIPS) will be developed
to improve the accuracy, reliability, and capability of flood forecasts
for tropical cyclones and non-tropical wind systems such as nor'easters.
Investigators from government, industry and academia will construct,
evaluate, and deliver a prototype inundation forecasting system to facilitate
emergency management and decision-making in the challenging case of
intricate coastlines-semi-enclosed coastal bays and estuaries.
