___Data and shapefiles used to document the floods associated with the January and March 2018 Nor'easters for Coastal Areas of New England (ver. 2.0, November 2021)
Data layers in this child item include high-water mark and storm-sensor data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) New England Water Science Center following the January 4, 2018, and March 2-4, 2018, winter-storm events in New England. High-water marks and continuous water-level sensor data range from Portland, Maine, to Provincetown, Massachusetts, and reference the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). For more information about these storm events and the data collection, please see Bent, G.C., and Taylor, N.J., 2020, Total water level data from the January and March 2018 nor’easters for coastal areas of New England: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020–5048, 47 p.,...
The U.S. Geological Survey New England Water Science Center, under an interagency agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, conducted frequency analyses of stillwater elevations at three National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration coast gages following the coastal floods of 2018. The datasets are comma-delimited files of period-of-record annual peak stillwater elevations collected at gages in Boston, Massachusetts, Portland, Maine, and Seavey Island, Maine, for analysis of annual-exceedence probabilities. The peak water-surface elevations are in feet in the North American Vertical Datum of 1988.
