Rural runoff funnels hurricane floodwater toward coastal cities, model finds
Key Points
Coastal cities are at increasing risk of compound flooding events, such as when heavy rainfall and storm surges occur simultaneously during hurricanes. However, the processes that contribute to urban compound flooding aren't well understood at smaller scales.
