Increasing the Fidelity of Morphological Storm Impact Predictions (iFMSIP)
Abstract
The objectives of this project are 1) to increase the fidelity of morphological storm impact predictions using advanced morphodynami"c software by rigorous model-data comparison using a large number of hurricane and extra-tropical storm events, and 2) to improve se"diment transport formulations. The project will collect and assemble a library of hurricane and storm event impact field data cases" covering the three Sallenger impact regimes: collision, overwash and inundation. The dataset will consist of input bathymetry/topog""raphy, wind fields and boundary conditions, as well as time records of water levels, waves and fields of bathymetric change as a res"ult of the event.
