NY Harbor, NY: 24in. Sea Level Rise, 5yr. Storm Return

NY Harbor, NY

This animation displays 24 inches of sea level rise and a 5 year storm return period. Flooding along the Lower Hudson River estuary (e.g. Rockland, Westchester, New York City) are caused by offshore wind-blown storm surge and arise predominantly due to cool-season storms for lower floods and due to hurricanes for extreme floods.
