Extratropical Storm-Induced Coastal Inundation: Scituate, MA Robert C.

Overall Goal Investigate roles of model structure and physics, waves, wave-surge interaction, grid resolution, computational effort on hindcasting inundation on a local scale driven by an extratropical storm in the Gulf of Maine. Objectives Hindcast inundation at Scituate (MA) during two recent (2005 and 2007) Nor’easters using suite of models with the same grid and forcing; Compare model output with available field data; Inter-compare model output; Formulate initial comparison results and plans for additional model tests.

Questions raised from the 2010 Nor’easter storm simulation : 1.How could we improve the tidal simulation for the long-term variation of the sea level? 2.How could we count the effects of the snow? 3.Should we increase the time interval of the wind forcing from one hour to a shorter period?
