This metadata record is for AfA product AfA 010. Surge Shape data is part of Coastal Design/Extreme Sea Levels,a GIS dataset and supporting information providing design / extreme sea level and typical surge information around the coastline of the UK, including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Jersey. The information is relevant under present day (year 2018) conditions and does not account for future changes due to climate change, such as sea level rise. This is a specialist dataset which informs on work commenced around the coast ranging from coastal flood modelling, scheme design, strategic planning and flood risk assessments.
Surge Shape data is an Excel spreadsheet containing numeric data and graphs, linked to the Surge Shape locations data via common fields.
This 2018 update to the Coastal Design Sea Levels dataset was carried out in partnership for the UK Coastal Flood Forecasting partnership, which includes the Environment Agency (EA), Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Department for Infrastructure Northern Ireland (DfINI).
