Coupled ocean atmosphere wave sediment transport modeling system

Projected wave climate trends from WAVEWATCH3 model output were used as input for nearshore wave models (for example, SWAN) for the main Hawaiian Islands to derive data and statistical measures (mean and top 5 percent values) of wave height, wave period, and wave direction for the recent past (1996-2005) and future projections (2026-2045 and 2085-2100). Three-hourly global climate model (GCM) wind speed and wind direction output from four different GCMs provided by the Coupled Model...

Coastal marsh are highly dynamic and ecologically important ecosystems that are subject to pervasive and often harmful disturbances, including shoreline erosion. Shoreline erosion can result in an overall loss of coastal marsh, particularly in estuaries with moderate- or high-wave energy. Not only can waves can be important physical drivers of shoreline change but can also influence shore-proximal vertical accretion through sediment delivery. For these reason, estimates of wave energy can provide a quantitative measure of...

The Biscayne and Southern Everglades Coastal Transport(BISECT) model combines a three-dimensional groundwater model with a two-dimensional hydrodynamic surface-water model with variable-density solute-transport. Input data files containing parameters and boundary condtions for groundwater and surface-water were developed for the calibrated model, represnting conditions from 1996 to 2004. Input data scenarios were developed by altering the relevent parameters to represent the likely effects of 1) different depth aquifer barriers, 2) possible future changes to current water-management practices,...
