eSurge: satellite data for the storm surge community
Storm surges are among the most deadly natural phenomena. Earth Observation (EO) data has an important role to play in their study and forecasting, yet its uptake by modellers and forecasters has been slower than it could have been.
The eSurge project aims to improve the uptake of EO data, by:
- Providing easy access to relevant data for a wide range of historical surge events. Read more.
- Making data products available in near real time during ongoing surge events. Read more.
- Performing studies and experiments to demonstrate the value of this data.
- Running workshops and training courses to help users make best use of the data available. Read more.
eSurge is currently in its development phase. We aim to start making data available through this website in Summer 2012.
