USGS Researchers Join Collaborators at National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts Project Meeting
The National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Hurricane Coastal Impacts (NHCI) project aims to document the height, extent, and timing of storm surge and waves as they evolve in the nearshore environment and dissipate across natural and man-made landscapes.
