New York City with 10 meters of flooding

BZoltan:

Thank you for your great sea level rise animations. A sobering historical perspective is that many of our large coastal cities may have more history behind them than they can look forward to in the future unless they fortify themselves with seawalls or dams and maintain pumps in their subterranean infrastructure such as subways. With rising sea levels, some densely populated parts of the world must look forward to the prospect of flooding from storm surge well before increasing levels of normal spring high tides reach their homes and commercial areas.

The attached KMZ file is a version intended for selecting levels of inundation as an alternative to animating the progression. It contains two folders - one for selecting a view of a city, and the other with radio buttons for selecting a level of inundation in meters (0 to 200). Of course, when viewing the data on Google Earth, we should remember that no credible forecast of sea level rise expects anywhere near 200 meters of flooding. The file is best viewed with the Terrain and 3D Buildings layers activated.
