Why rapid computation?• Urgent forecasting needed before disaster strikes• Forecast simulations are resource intensive, requiring 2.5 - 3
hours computation time on 192 processor systems• Planners/emergency managers need forecast information as
quickly as possible• AdcircLite-NC provides storm surge and wave forecasts at
response nodes by implementing UND surface response method

Project goals and expected resultsTask 1. Preliminary data and testing/calibration of UNDInterpolator
– Establish response node evaluation dataset– [Assemble historical record of high water marks from tide gauge records?]– Hindcast hurricanes such as Fran and Isabel
Task 2. Expand to include wave characteristics– Expand UNDInterpolator to include significant wave height, period, direction
Task 3. Integrate into North Carolina Forecast System– Post-process UNDInterpolator output into NC-CERA/OPeNDAP formats
Task 4. Calibration and Skill Assessment– Cross validate to improve accuracy– Optimize for storm surge and wave heights

Project goals and expected results
[Should the previous slide instead just cover the milestones? Previous slide is very text heavy. Unsure if that is a problem.]

What does AdcircLite-NC do?
• Response Surface Method(RSM) — Given an set of input parameters, predict a
response influenced by several variables• Input parameters for AdcircLite-NC:
hurricane parameters• RSM for AdcircLite-NC: UNDInterpolatorCould also mention that [RSM originally developed in 1950s to determine optimal operating conditions in chemical engineering applications(Myers et al., 1989)][In coastal realm, RSM previously used for modeling wave crest elevation from wave spectra(Tromans et al., 2004, Gibson et al., 2007), and larval development from temperature/salinity(Lough et al., 1973)]

What does ADCIRC-Lite do?
AdcircLite-NC uses NHC best track and pre-computed dataset as
inputs[Show map with hurricane track]

What does AdcircLite-NC do?
UNDInterpolator evaluates track response using pre-computed
dataset[Show plot of LF tracks and plot
of BP tracks]

What does AdcircLite-NC’s RSM look like?
Where x = vector containing hurricane track parametersẐi(x) = response at xb(x) = basis functionsai(x) = basis coefficientsNB = number of basis functions

What parameters are used?
[Description of parameters, showing most of them via map.]
[Introduce Holland B with r/RMW vs V_G/P(r) plots]
[Holland B is not a parameter in the proposal’s RSM formulae, does that matter?]

Progress to date:
Task 1. Preliminary datasets and testing of the UNDInterpolator– Established testbed of response nodes– Compared UNDInterpolator output from response
nodes to validated ADCIRC runs for hurricanes Fran and Isabel

Progress to date:
[Generate results at 100 response points and compare to
validated ADCIRC runs]
