Major 2012 Activities
• SLOSH + Tides– Operationalize and Enhance– Explore Impact on Surge Products (MOM, MEOW,
etc.)
• PHISH– Implementation into NCEP operations– Incremental and Cumulative Time Ranges
• SLOSH Display Program– Gridded tide / datum module– KMZ fix
• P-surge Exceedance products on NHC web site
