SLOSH

The Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) program is a computer model developed by the National Weather Service to evaluate storm surge heights posed from historical and hypothetical hurricanes based on factors including pressure, wind speeds, and heading. SLOSH, which models potential storm surge for 37 coastal basins, is used by the government and emergency management to plan for areas that may potentially be impacted by storm surge.
