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 data, including advanced products such as scatterometry and coastal altimetry.
To achieve this, eSurge:
- Brings together available data in a freely available database.
- Makes live data available when a surge is forecast.
- Provides documentation and training to aid use of this data.
- Runs demonstration experiments to prove the value of the data.
- Supports community building through the Storm Surge Network.
eSurge is being developed in close collaboration with our users. The more feedback that we get, the better that we can meet your needs.
What is a Storm Surge?
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 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.
