"The potential inundation, I, of the beach system at Fire Island NS for Category 1-4 hurricanes is defined as the difference between Rlow and Dhigh. A 200-m smoothing window was applied to the data before plotting. Positive values indicate that modeled storm surge exceeds the elevation of the dune crest, suggesting that the beach system is more vulnerable to inundation and the associated extreme coastal changes."
