Abstract

The corps of Engineers requires predictive models of hydrodynamic conditions in the nearshore and offshore to perform its civil works and military missions. To support these missions, the Corps has developed numerical models that predict tidal and wind-driven elevations and currents, directional-spectral wind-wave climatology, and groundwater movement and interaction with coastal surface waters.
