Coupling A Parametric Wave Model Into Hydrodynamic Ocean Circulation Forecasts To Improve Efficiency Of Nested Estuarine Storm Surge Predictions, Caleb Tye Lodge Dec 2021

Coupling A Parametric Wave Model Into Hydrodynamic Ocean Circulation Forecasts To Improve Efficiency Of Nested Estuarine Storm Surge Predictions, Caleb Tye Lodge

Theses and Dissertations

Efficiency in storm surge modeling is crucial for forecasting coastal hazards in real-time. While computation cost is trivial to organizations with ample resources, the robustness of forecasts generated by most parties are restricted by wall-clock time. The Parametric Wave Model (PARAM) was developed by Boyd and Weaver (2021) as an alternative to computationally expensive wind-wave models when modeling estuarine environments. For this study, PARAM has been tightly coupled with the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model to become ADCparam, then integrated into the Multistage ensemble forecast system, a one-way nesting framework for modeling waves and circulation in coastal estuaries developed by Taeb and …
