Hurricane Storm Surge Simulation
Requirements
1. A high resolution, physics-based circulation model with
flooding and drying capabilities.
2. A high resolution water depth (bathymetry) and land
elevation data set on which to overlay the model.
3. Accurate enough wind and pressure fields to drive the
model.
Here we use the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean
Model (FVCOM) of Chen et al. (2003).

where:
ζ is the sea level,
H=h+ζ is the total water depth,
is the surface wind stress,
is the bottom friction stress, and
is the sum of the local and Coriolis accelerations,
the advective accelerations, and the horizontal diffusion,
each calculated separately before summation.

Parameter Examples
Wind Stress
For 50 ms-1 wind Cd (3-D) is 2.11x10-3, whereas Cd (IPET 2-D) is 4.1x10-3
Bottom Stress
For the 3-D FVCOM used here, Cz is capped at 0.005
For IPET Katrina ADCIRC Cf (2-D) is 0.003 at 2 m depth, 0.007 at 1m
depth, and larger for shallower depths.
Hence,
The IPET 2-D ADCIRC compensates for larger bottom stress by using
larger wind stress.

Conclusions
1. Local:
Tampa Bay, FL is as vulnerable to hurricane storm surge
inundation as was coastal Mississippi for H. Katrina.
2. General:
A. Storm surge simulation is sensitive to model
construction: i.e., 3-D, versus 2-D. The explanation is
bottom stress. A 2-D model overestimates bottom stress,
and hence underestimates surge.
B. Calibration can mitigate this (e.g., the IPET, Katrina
analyses are excellent), but forecasts without calibration
data may be in significant error.
C. Agencies (NOAA, FEMA, USACE) employ 2-D models. Our
findings suggest the importance of 3-D.
D. Studies are necessary to improve surface and bottom
stress parameterizations.

Coupled Wave Effects
To investigate the effects of waves on the combined surge
and waves we (with Yong Huang) coupled an unstructured
version of SWAN to the FVCOM and repeated the
experiments. The following figures show: 1) significant wave
height, radiation stress and wind stress at several times
during the simulation, 2) surge heights with and without the
wave coupling by radiation stress, and 3) surge height
differences with and without the wave coupling. To the surge
heights with wave coupling must also be added the wave
amplitude (between approximately 0.5 to 0.7 times the wave
height) to get the total vertical reach of water over the
evolution of the storm.
