This dataset contains information for the Far Future time horizon, meaning it is suitable for planning through the next 75 years and is based on climate data most relevant to the period between 2060 and 2100. Within this time horizon, this dataset shows a High climate change projection, indicating a less likely but possible future with higher sea level rise and precipitation estimates, which may be favored for use in decisions with little tolerance for risk.<\/SPAN><\/P><P><SPAN>The CRMP\u2019s coastal flood modeling considered changing relative sea level rise projections based on the NOAA 2017 Intermediate High Curve.
