Towards a Probabilistic Surge and Inundation Prediction System (2PSIPS)

Abstract

Objective The objectives of the current one-year project is to provide the US Navy with input on:1. The relative importance of physical processes that drive total water levels, particularly on Western Pacific coasts.2. Methods to compute and incorporate uncertainties in total water level predictions due to uncertainties in meteorological forcing and coastal profile shape.Statement of Work The statement of work is divided into the following tasks:1. Investigate the relative importance of wave- and wind-driven processes on steep-slope and milder-slope coasts with verification on selected field sites2. Incorporate the uncertainties in the total water level due to variations in the meteorological forcing on an alongshore-uniform coast for various coastal profile shapes.
