How can models be used to investigate changes in risk of flooding for Florida?

Depth-duration-frequency (DDF) curves characterize long-term patterns in rainfall to guide design of resilient infrastructure.

Historical records of precipitation can be converted to estimates applicable to the future.

The Florida Flood Hub coordinates collaborative high-resolution modeling of Florida’s rainfall under future climatic conditions.

Simulations of real-world conditions inform decisions to enhance resilience.

The Florida Flood Hub and USF College of Marine Science partner to improve data on sea levels around Florida’s coastline.

Improved circulation models of the coastal ocean can forecast storm surge for Floridians and Gulf Coast residents during hurricane season.

The Florida Flood Hub’s partnership will update seafloor maps, improve storm surge models, and enhance flood forecasting for coastal communities.
