The system is comprised of:
The modeling system is being developed to provide a coherent framework to investigate the targeted Tasks as outlined in the Approach section. The animation above shows estimated wave heights in meters from the COAWST system (color). Currently we are using wind data (vectors) from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction North American Mesoscale high resolution regional (ETA) model. |
