The S_Cst_Gage layer is used when gage information (from tide, wind, or buoy stations) is used in the determination or to support flood height calculations. Specifically, this table is used in the following situations: when tide gage information is used to support the calibration and validation of hydrodynamic models; when tide gage information is used in the determination of flood elevations by statistical analyses of annual extrema; when wave buoy data provides information regarding the wave climate in the flood risk project area; when wave buoy data has been used in the estimation of offshore wave conditions; for calibration and validation of a numerical wave model; and when data from wind stations has been used for water level hindcasts or wave estimation. This information is needed for the Tide Gage Analysis Specifics table in the FIS report. |
