    • CoSMoS (Coastal Storm Modeling System) Central California v3.1 water-level projections: 100-year storm in Monterey County

    Metadata Updated: October 30, 2025

    This data contains model-derived total water elevation (in meters) for the sea-level rise (SLR) and storm condition indicated.
    The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) makes detailed predictions (meter-scale) over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers) of storm-induced coastal flooding and erosion for both current and future sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios. Projections for CoSMoS v3.1 in Central California include flood-hazard information for the coast from Pt. Conception to the Golden Gate. Outputs include SLR scenarios of 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 5.0 meters; storm scenarios include background conditions (astronomic spring tide and average atmospheric conditions) and simulated 1-year/20-year/100-year return interval coastal storms. Methods and processes used in Central California are replicated from and described in O'Neill and others (2018). Please read metadata and inspect output carefully. Data are complete for the information presented. Due to file size constraints, data are available in two parts: part 1 includes SLR conditions 0 - 1.5 m, and part 2 includes SLR conditions 2.0 - 5.0 m.
