Description:

This report documents the reference and forecast model development for Point Reyes, California, and its vicinity, comprising much of western Marin County. The Point Reyes headland juts out into the Pacific Ocean and it s lighthouse is a prominent navigation landmark northwest of the entrance to San Francisco Bay. A tide gauge within Drakes Bay, in the lee of the headland, provides observations for model validation from numerous historical tsunamis. While much of the study region lies within a National Seashore area, limiting the population and waterfront infrastructure, there are a number of nearby communities exposed to tsunami impact. Beaches and other natural amenities and the mild climate foster extensive recreational use, and there is a clear need for emergency preparedness. This report addresses the tsunami aspects of the natural hazard spectrum. [doi:10.7289/V5W9573D (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5W9573D)]
