Operational Evaluation of ADCIRC-2DDI as Applied to the Western North Atlantic Ocean
The model forecast system comprising the finite element-based hydrodynamic model ADCIRC-2DDI, the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS), and the Grenoble tidal database (FES95.2.1) is evaluated in the Western North Atlantic Ocean under an operational test (OPTEST) defined by...
