A two-dimensional finite element grid of the New York Bight region was generated and applied to the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) hydrodynamic computational model to determine storm surge intrusion in the New York metropolitan region during a tropical hurricane event. The commercial software package Surface Water Modeling System (SMS) v. 8.0 was utilized to generate a grid encompassing up to eight meters of elevation in the New York Metropolitan region and to integrate available bathymetric data. The ADCIRC model was coupled to the regional mesoscale metrological model MM5 in addition to tidal constituent forcing on the open boundaries and river flow at USGS gauging stations. Model results validate the computational model, but further research is required to determine the extent of storm surge flooding. This study was supported by grants from the New York Sea Grant Institute, the City of New York, and the Simons Foundation.
