  1. Jamaica Probable Storm Effects 19 N Ross Wagenseil for CDMP January 2000 MILES DEGREES KILOMETERS 100 78.75 W 1 75.75 W 100 50 0.5 50 25 10yr 25yr 50yr 100yr SELECT Wind 17 N CDMP Wave Surge 0 0 0 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 4.6% at 17 degrees North, and stretched 5.8% at 19 degrees North. All model results were calculated using great-circle distances based on the WGS84 datum. Points of Interest: 1. Montego Bay: intense shoreline development. Montego Bay 1 2. Kingston: Capital city and major port. 3. Port Esquivel: Oil terminal on shallow bay Jamaica 4. Rocky Point: Railway and bauxite terminal on shallow bay Kingston Port Esquivel 2 3 Note: Waves and surges for Points of Interest are reported from the nearest cell offshore. Rocky Point 4 Portland Bight Note: High-resolution studies have been done for Montego Bay and Kingston. See http://www.oas.org/en/cdmp/ N • This set of maps is part of Section 2 of the Atlas of Probable Storm Effects in the Caribbean Sea, which was sponsored by the Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project (CDMP), a joint effort of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). These maps are a result of new techniques for modeling storms and estimating the probabilities of storms, developed in part under the patronage of CDMP. Refer to the Atlas for explanatory materials. • WINDS represent sustained 1-minute winds at 10 m above the surface, and include both surface friction and topographic effects at a resolution of 30 arc-seconds. Friction factors derive from a Level I land-cover classification, • with water, forest and open land predominating. If using wind damage models or building codes • which internally include surface friction or topographic corrections, the nearest open-water wind • speed from one of these maps may be used as input. Careful judgement is advised in reading • and applying the values • SURGES include astronomical tide and setups from pressure, wind and wave, but not wave runup. 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. Shoreline effects do not appear at this resolution.
