Transient Tidal Circulation and Momentum Balances at a Shallow Inlet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of transient momentum balances is carried out to elucidate circulation, dynamics, and exchange mechanisms at shallow barotropic tidal inlets. Circulation is computed using a depth-integrated, fully nonlinear, ...
Considerations in the Calculation of Vertical Velocity in Three-Dimensional Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical velocity, w, in three-dimensional circulation models is typically computed from the three-dimensional continuity equation given the free-surface elevation and depth-varying horizontal velocity. This problem ...
A Retrospective Evaluation of the Storm Surge Produced by Hurricane Gustav (2008): Forecast and Hindcast Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution and convergence of modeled storm surge were examined using a high-resolution implementation of the Advanced Circulation Coastal Ocean and Storm Surge (ADCIRC) model for Hurricane Gustav (2008). The storm surge ...
A Basin- to Channel-Scale Unstructured Grid Hurricane Storm Surge Model Applied to Southern Louisiana
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Southern Louisiana is characterized by low-lying topography and an extensive network of sounds, bays, marshes, lakes, rivers, and inlets that permit widespread inundation during hurricanes. A basin- to channel-scale ...
The CI-FLOW Project: A System for Total Water Level Prediction from the Summit to the Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tive of the Coastal and Inland Flooding Observation and Warning (CI-FLOW) project is to prototype new hydrometeorologic techniques to address a critical NOAA service gap: routine total water level predictions for tidally ...
