Description: Dataset courtesy of the PREVIEW Global Risk Data Platform. This dataset includes an estimate of surges triggered by tropical cyclone frequency of Saffir-Simpson category 1. It is based on three sources: 1) A compilation of best tracks dataset from WMO Regional Specialised Meteorological Centres (RSMCs) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs). As well as personal communication with Dr. Varigonda Subrahmanyam, Dr. James Weyman, Kiichi Sasaki, Philippe CAROFF, Jim Davidson, Simon Mc Gree, Steve Ready, Peter Kreft, Henrike Brecht. 2) A GIS modeling based on an initial equation from Greg Holland, which was further modified to take into consideration the movement of the cyclones through time. 3) A Digital Elevation Model (SRTM). Unit is expected average number of event per 1000 years. This product was designed by UNEP/GRID-Europe for the Global Assessment Report on Risk Reduction (GAR). It was modeled using global data.
