Optimizing Portability of a Mine Scour/Burial Model by Means of a Geomorphic Coastal Classification System

Abstract

Our overall objectives are to develop a process oriented model for the prediction of scour, burial, and station keeping of mines and neutralization devices deployed in the shallow waters of the global coastal zone; and to place this model, complete with code and descriptive text, in the Ocean/Atmosphere Model Library (OAML). To provide global capability, we developed a classification system that orders world coastal diversity into categories that optimize the portability of the model.
