Beach Wizard. Development of an Operational Nowcast, Short-Term Forecast System for Nearshore Hydrodynamics and Bathymetric Evolution

Abstract

The long-term goals are to provide accurate and detailed predictions of nearshore hydrodynamics and bathymetric evolution using an advanced process-based model (Delft3D). Observations of dense remotely-sensed and sparse in situ data will be assimilated to continuously improve model performance, and where the data is uncertain or absent, the model will be used to fill in the gaps and construct a more complete estimate of current or near-future conditions.
