Coupling a High Resolution Hurricane Storm Surge
Model to Operational Weather and Ocean Prediction
Systems

• Yuji Funakoshi1,2, Jesse Feyen1, Frank Aikman1,
  Carlos Lozano3, and Hendrik Tolman3
• 1. NOAA/NOS/CSDL, Silver Spring, MD
• 2. UCAR, Boulder, CO
• 3. NOAA/NWS/NCEP, Camp Spring, MD

Strategy

• Cooperating to evaluate strategies for a
  next-generation storm surge modeling system.
• To simulate storm surge for the coastal region
  using a high resolution Coastal Flooding Model
  (CFM).
• To examine the impact of boundary and
  meteorological forcing from a suite of NWS
  operational weather and ocean prediction models.
