Task 4- Surge Modeling

Storm surge prediction with ADCIRC model based on a finite element grid. This grid can resolve small details in coastline geometry, as well as inlets and bayous and wetting/drying of barrier islands, etc. Components included in the prediction are wind fields from Task 2, wave-setup and radiation stresses from Task 3 pressure fields derived from Task 2 and tidal information.
