Title: Development of a coupled coastal circulation and inland hydrology modeling framework based on ESMF/NUOPC infrastructure

Abstract:
To enable flexible model coupling for compound inland and coastal hydrodynamic operational forecasts and applications, a coupling system based on
ESMF/NUOPC technology under a common modeling framework called the NOAA Environmental Modeling System (NEMS) is being developed. The system
provides dynamic interaction between the wave, ocean circulation, hydrology/inland flooding modeling components. The data communication between
components occurs interactively by sending spatiotemporal water level and current fields from the ocean circulation component to the wave component, and
in turn sends radiation stress gradients from the wave component to the ocean circulation component. The ocean circulation component also provides water
level and current velocities to the hydrology/inland flooding component and receives river discharge and lateral fluxes as the upstream inflow boundary.
NOAA is currently implementing this coupled system approach by employing WAVEWATCH III (WW3), ADCIRC and National Water Model (NWM) models as
the wave, storm-surge and hydrology/in-land flooding model components. The system is forced by high-resolution wind and pressure fields derived from the
Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRF). The WW3-ADCIRC sub-system has been validated successfully for numerous major recent
storm events (e.g. Ike and Sandy) for the U.S. Atlantic coast. As a next step, the ADCIRC-NWM sub-system will be evaluated for Hurricane Isabel, Irene and
Sandy for the Delaware Bay region before the fully coupled system (ADCIRC-WW3-NWM) is validated for the U.S. Atlantic coast. Following validation of this
system, this coupled system approach will be modified to include NOS’ three-dimensional ocean circulation operational forecasting systems (e.g. FVCOM and
ROMS) as the ocean circulation component. The ESMF/NUOPC flexible coupling infrastructure and softwares developed as a part of this effort are open
source and would be available to community upon request.
