Predicting the impacts of hurricanes will enable the prediction of gross coastal hazards at the regional scale and detailed morphological change at the local scale. These comparisons will be used to determine the effectiveness and sensitivity of the forecasts.
What is the predicting impact of hurricanes?
- Coastal hazards will be forecast using the open-source, community-developed Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Waves Sediment Transport (COWAST) modeling system.
- The result of the modeling will be a series of static and dynamic grids that will enable the prediction of gross coastal hazards at the regional scale and detailed morphological change at the local scale, where the highest impacts are predicted.
- COAWST will be used to forecast wave, sediment, surge, and structure response (WSSSR).
- This COAWST-WSSSR forecasting system will be applied to directly predict the coastal response to landfall hurricanes.
- Once the architecture is complete, the forecasting system and developed grids will be operated at each of the four institutions that are part of the overall team – the Gulf Mexico sub-team located at Louisiana State University, the FL sub-team located at UF, the East Coast sub-team located at Fathom Science in Raleigh, NC, and the Northeast sub-team located at USGS Woods Hole in Woods Hole, MA.
- Data for storm damage predictions will be collected during hurricane seasons in the years 2022-2024. In off-season periods during those years, selected storms will be hind-casted.
- That is, actual storm damage measurements to coastal topography, infrastructure (roads and bridges), and structures (commercial and residential) will be compared to the predictions made by the forecasting models.
- These comparisons will be used to determine the effectiveness and sensitivity of the forecasts.
