Simulation of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and Similar Synthetic Storms

This project contains files for running the PADCIRC storm surge model using data for Typhoon Haiyan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan), one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded. The project contains PADCIRC models for the Pacific Ocean around the Philippines Islands, a nodal attributes file, and a parameter file (fort.15). A wind file for Typhoon Haiyan was obtained from forecast data. In addition, similar hurricanes with different tracks were created to determine the impacts from similar storms on other parts of the Philippines.
