GLOSSIS - Global Storm Surge Information System

Coastal inundation by storm surges is one of the main risks for coastal cities worldwide. These risks are expected to further increase in the next few decades due to population growth, sea level rise and land subsidence. 

To assist worldwide early warning, the Global Storm Surge Forecasting and Information System (GLOSSIS) is developed, which provides real-time water level and storm-surge forecasts with global coverage. 

These forecasts can be used for early warning in those areas currently lacking any forecasting capability, or can provide boundary conditions for more refined local models.
