D. Blencoe, MS thesis
The model run with COAMPS 9km wind forcing better captured the influence of the complex coastline and topography structure.
The model run with COAMPS 9km wind displayed more details and
produced stronger headland effects.

Conclusion
• With high-resolution atmospheric forcing the ICON model captures “the essence” but not the “details”of observed variability.
• Data Assimilation (“blending” of observations and model predictions) is needed

APPROACH
Methods of using HF radar data to provide corrections to
the model wind forcing are investigated.
Figure 4. Alongshore component of wind at the M1 mooring and the mode 1 amplitude for the radar-derived (CODAR) surface velocity fields as a scatter plot (left panel) and versus time (right panel).
Inadequate knowledge of the wind stress is probably a significant source of error in the model solutions.
