Abstract:

The coastal ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) model is coupled with the Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) model to provide high-resolution hindcast results of Hurricane Arthur's wind, wave and surge impacts along the North Carolina coast. Atmospheric forcing is provided via the data assimilated HWind product. The time period of interest is July 1-5 2014, when Hurricane Arthur made landfall in North Carolina.
