Task 5- Interfaces/Coupling

Several interfaces and couplings must be tested and evaluated. Included are a sea-state dependent drag coefficient to account for the correct momentum transfer (wind stress) during high wind events; wave refraction by surge-induced currents and tides; a wave-dependent bottom friction factor for surge to account for ripple generation and sediment movement; incorporation of wave- setup/setdown and radiation stress effects on surge modeling; and inclusion of rainfall especially near the coast.
