Abstract:

Wind, surge and wave results induced by Hurricane Katrina (2005) on a 189*259 curvilinear mesh covering the Mobile Bay are provided. They were generated by a modeling system including a hurricane surface wind model, a storm surge model (ADCIRC), a wave model (SWAN) and a hydrodynamic and sediment transport model (ECOMSED).
