Abstract

NECOFS is a regional forecast model system for the atmosphere, ocean, and surface waves. It includes: 1) the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for atmospheric predictions; 2) the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) with the NECOFSv2 grid for ocean states; 3) the FVCOM-SWAVE (FVCOM surface wave model) for wave dynamics; 4) the Massachusetts Coastal FVCOM with the inclusion of estuaries, inlets, harbors and intertidal wetlands; and 5) four subdomain wave-current coupled FVCOM inundation forecast systems in Scituate and Boston Harbor in MA, Saco Bay in ME, and Hampton Harbor in NH.
