Description:

Operational and real-time coastal modeling applications depend on robust modeling and software frameworks to ingest data, couple models, run simulations, analyze results, and post output. One such system is the Unified Forecast System (UFS), which is a community-based system for coupled modeling Earth system modeling. Other coastal model applications can use different approaches in order to support operations. This session will explore systems and frameworks used to maintain coastal modeling systems, including hydrodynamics, waves, meteorology, hydrology, and related processes.
