Implementation of a Regional Wave Measurement and Modeling System, South Shore of Long Island, New York
Abstract
This paper describes the wave measurement and numerical modeling components of a regional monitoring and modeling system established for the south shore of Long Island, New York. The monitoring portion was begun in April 1998 and has produced a wealth of data on waves, currents, water level, and soundings at inlets. A directional spectral wave model incorporating nested grids with fine resolution at inlets provides an efficient and accurate means of calculating nearshore waves. Validation of the modeling system is presented, together with discussion of the managerial functions of the data and model.
