Chesapeake Bay Inundation Prediction System (CIPS)
The Chesapeake Bay Inundation Prediction System (CIPS) is being developed to improve the accuracy, reliability, and capability of flooding forecasts for tropical cyclones and non-tropical wind systems such as nor’easters by modeling and visualizing expected on-land storm-surge inundation along the Chesapeake Bay (CB) and its tributaries. An initial prototype has been developed by a team of government, academic and industry partners through the Chesapeake Bay Observing System (CBOS) of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (MACOORA) within the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS).

- The Chesapeake Bay Inundation Prediction System (CIPS) has been recommended for development through funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Please note that a funding award has not yet been issued by NOAA but is anticipated in the Fall '07. Questions about CIPS can be directed to Elizabeth Smith, Project Coordinator, at exsmith@odu.edu
