The projection of the illustrations is Plate Carrée, a square grid of latitude and longitude. Resolution is 30 arc-seconds. North-South distances are true to scale. East-West distances are stretched 4.9% at 17.5 degrees North, and stretched 6.7% at 20.33 degrees North. All model results were calculated using great-circle distances based on the WGS84 datum.

Surges over land are shown as elevation above sea level, not water depth.•WAVES are the heights of wave crests above the storm surge level in open water.
