Enhanced Tide Information and Display

The system now makes extensive use of astronomical tide data... which is critical information when assessing coastal flooding potential for an approaching storm.  Tide data for “coastal” locations is included and optionally graphed on selected impact reports. It is also described in text on the narrative impact statement. The tide graph, including the tidal harmonic, is superimposed on the wind speed graph to help determine the effects of tide heights during the period of highest winds.

The system now has the ability to automatically associate all of your "custom" locations with the closest "qualifying" tide station.
(The pre-defined locations already have been associated with a tide station.)

 

The tide information is included in the Narrative Impact Statement


As well as in a report & EXCEL format
