Coupled wave-circulation results from the SWAN+ADCIRC models to analyze errors in forecast storm strength during Hurricane Arthur (2014)

These are results of the Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) model and the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) model simulations to assess the wind, wave and surge impacts of Hurricane Arthur (2014) along the North Carolina (NC) coast. The storm field is constructed by ADCIRC using the parametric Generalized Asymmetric Holland Model (GAHM) forced by modified National Hurricane Center (NHC) advisories. This dataset contains results based on scenarios designed to examine the effects of errors associated with forecast storm strength. In these scenarios, we replace the track in the NHC forecast guidance with the track extracted from the post storm available HWind data. The time period of interest is July 1-5 2014, when Hurricane Arthur made landfall in NC.
