Evaluation of Different Wind Fields for Storm Surge Modeling in the Persian Gulf
Description: With the increasing demand for accurate storm-surge predictions in coastal regions, there is an urgent need to select the most accurate wind field product to use in hydrodynamic prediction models. In this study, the responses of a coastal and ocean circulation model to four wind products were evaluated. Simulation of water-level fluctuation with the mentioned wind forcings were compared with tide-gauge observations in the northern part of the Persian Gulf. [Source: Journal of Coastal Research]
