Overall Goal Investigate roles of model structure and physics, waves, wave-surge interaction, wave current interaction, grid resolution, and computational effort on hindcasting inundation on a local scale driven by an extratropical storm in the Gulf of Maine. Objectives Hindcast inundation at Scituate (MA) during two recent (2005 and 2007) Nor’easters using suite of models with the same grid and forcing; Compare model output with available field data; Inter-compare model output; Formulate initial comparison results and plans for additional model tests. Three Unstructured Grid Models ADCIRC - ADvanced CIRCulation model (SWAN) FVCOM – Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model (SWAVE) SELFE – Semi-implicit Eulerian-Lagrangian Finite Element model (WWM)

Summary For the same forcing conditions, all three unstructured-grid models are capable of reproducing the tides in Scituate, MA. All three models produced with similar accuracy the sea surface elevation and the same patterns of currents over the shelf outside Scituate. The model results exhibit distinct differences in the current spatial distribution and coastal inundation pattern inside Scituate, particularly in the case with current-wave interactions. The differences in the three model results are probably related to bottom friction parameterization, wave simulations, and algorithms used for current-wave interaction.
