Strategy • Cooperating to evaluate strategies for a next-generation storm surge modeling system. • To simulate storm surge for the coastal region using a high resolution Coastal Flooding Model (CFM). • To examine the impact of boundary and meteorological forcing from a suite of NWS operational weather and ocean prediction models.
