HAZUS-MH MR3 FAQs: Hurricane Model Analysis and Parameters
What is the difference between Surface Roughness and Terrain?
Surface Roughness and Terrain have the same meaning in the Hurricane Model and are used interchangeably throughout the software. Future releases will be changed to use only one of these terms so that the terminology will be consistent .
For additional information, the HAZUS User's Manuals and guidance materials are available for download from the HAZUS Resources on this site.
