We have a special online seminar on MPAS modelling.
1. Date and time: 23rd November 10:30 am ~ 11:30 am
2. Title: Applicability Study of a Global Numerical Weather Prediction Model MPAS to Storm Surges and Waves in the South Coast of Korea
3. Abstract
To acquire accurate meteorological data as important forcing variables for the prediction of storm surges and waves, we examined the forecast performance and applicability of a next-generation global weather/climate prediction model, the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS). We compared the forecast results of the typhoon-induced wave and storm surges with their hindcast and found that MPAS forecast provides a comparable accuracy with the hindcast. Comparable results of MPAS forcing with that of hindcast using best track are encouraging because ADCIRC+SWAN forced by MPAS forecast with an at most four-day lead time still provides a reasonable prediction of wave and storm surges.
