Abstract:

These are the source code, input and output files for a high-resolution simulation of waves, storm surge and coastal flooding during Hurricane Isaac (2012). It uses atmospheric forcing from the GAHM parametric vortex model. Related hindcast simulations can be found in GRIIDC datasets R4.x265.000:0020 (simulations using HWind) and R4.x265.000:0021 (simulations using UWIN-CM).

Purpose:

This dataset was generated to examine storm-induced waves and flooding during Hurricane Isaac (2012) in the marshes and floodplains along the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Data Parameters and Units:

Model output files include wind/water velocities (m/s), significant wave heights (m), water levels (m), surface pressure (m of water), wave direction (degrees), wave period (sec), radiation stress gradient (m^2/sec^2)
