Satellite data for the storm surge community
The eSurge project aims to improve the modelling and forecasting of storm surges through the increased use of advanced satellite products such as scatterometry and coastal altimetry.
A storm surge is an unexpectedly high water level brought on by unusual atmospheric conditions. Much of the world's coastline is at risk of storm surges, which are among the most devastating of natural catastrophes. Read more.
eSurge is being developed in close collaboration with our users. The more feedback that we get, the better that we can meet your needs. To get involved join our mailing list, come and talk to us at one of the events that we will attend, join the workshops and training sessions that we organise, or contact us directly.
eSurge is funded by the European Space Agency through its DUE programme. It is being undertaken by a consortium consisting of CGI (formerly Logica), NOC, DMI, CMRC and KNMI.
Training Course
eSurge will be holding a training event "Applying EO Data to Storm Surge Modelling and Forecasting" in Cork, Ireland, on 20-21 February 2014. More information.
The eSurge team would like to thank all those who have applied. Candidates will be informed shortly whether they have been successful in their applications.
eSurge is funded by the European Space Agency through its Data User Element (DUE) programme.
We would also like to thank the following other organisations for their help:
The eSurge Venice project has been set up to focus on the Adriatic Sea and Venice lagoon. See their website for more details.
