Task 3- Wave Modeling

Wave forecast with WAM model. Using dynamically changing grid nesting along hurricane track projections, locally generated windsea from tropical cyclone and swell will be propagated close to coast for input into high-resolution ray model and coupling with storm surge model. Ray model will transform wave field over uneven bathymetry and provide wave-setup and radiation stress component to storm surge model as well for estimation of "erosion potential and possible "wave damage".
