Sea Level Rise – Coastal Inundation Scenarios (successor to CalFloD-3D Viewer)

Cal-Adapt · released 2018, relaunched 2022
Visit Sea Level Rise – Coastal Inundation Scenarios (successor to CalFloD-3D Viewer)

Cal-Adapt's original CalFloD-3D viewer now lives inside the SLR – Coastal Inundation Scenarios tool, which compares two dynamic flood models (CalFloD3D-TFS and CoSMoS) side by side for the same storm and SLR scenario.

Strengths and Limitations

Top 3 strengths
  • Directly compares two independent flood models to show where they agree
  • Dynamic, time-varying modeling rather than a static “bathtub” fill
  • High-resolution, downloadable data
Top 3 limitations
  • The original CalFloD-3D-only viewer has been folded in, so old links may not resolve
  • Only two time horizons (2020–2040 and 2080–2100)
  • More technical interface aimed at modelers than the general public
