“…Nevertheless, sub-grid obstruction scheme from the original WAVEWATCH III model is kept to count for islands unresolved by the 6-km resolution. The sub-grid obstruction scheme follows the approach of Hardy et al [11] with some modifications [41].…”

“…The approach of Hardy et al (2000) is to represent the blocking/scattering of wave energy by topography using sub-grid approximations. With this method, a transparency matrix that is dependent on wave direction and geographic location is specified within the model.…”

This paper is the product of the wave modelling community and it tries to make a picture of the present situation in this branch of science, exploring the previous and the most recent results and looking ahead towards the solution of the problems we presently face. Both theory and applications are considered.The many faces of the subject imply separate discussions. This is reflected into the single sections, seven of them, each dealing with a specific topic, the whole providing a broad and solid overview of the present state of the art. After an introduction framing the problem and the approach we followed, we deal in sequence with the following subjects: (Section) 2, generation by wind; 3, non-linear interactions in deep water; 4, white-capping dissipation; 5, non-linear interactions in shallow water; 6, dissipation at the sea bottom; 7, wave propagation; 8, numerics. The two final sections, 9 and 10, summarize the present situation from a general point of view and try to look at the future developments. Keywords

“…Subsequent studies conducted principally by JCU-MMU provided updated TC-induced surge plus tide updates for selected east coast sites (Hardy et al 2004a, b) all with and without allowance for predicted enhanced-greenhouse effects by 2050. This work was done using the JCU-MMU storm surge, wave and TC wind field models that had been extensively calibrated over many years (Bode and Mason 1994;Hardy et al 2001;James and Mason 2005). A series of demonstration hindcasts of significant historical storms indicated that peak surge levels were likely reproducible within 5% of measured values provided that adequate meteorological and bathymetric data was available.…”

“…Simultaneous wave modelling using a modified WAM model (Hardy et al 2001), which added significant computational burden, could not be undertaken for all selected east coast sites and was therefore limited to the high priority areas of Hervey Bay and the Sunshine Coast (Hardy et al 2004a) in the southern portion of the State (e.g. domain B1).…”

Developments in storm tide modelling and risk assessment in the Australian region

et al. 2009

An overview is provided of some of the significant storm tide modelling and risk assessment studies undertaken over the past few years within Australia and the nearby oceanic regions for government and industry. Emphasis is placed on the need for integrated planning and forecasting approaches for storm tide risk assessment. The importance of the meteorological forcing and the appropriate modelling of each of the storm tide components, namely, astronomical tide, storm surge, breaking wave setup and coastal inundation is discussed. The critical role of tropical cyclone ''best track'' datasets for risk assessment studies and the potential impacts on design criteria and risk assessment studies is highlighted, together with the challenge of developing credible enhanced-greenhouse climate change scenarios. It is concluded that storm tide modelling needs to be undertaken in a holistic framework that considers the relative uncertainties in each of the various elements-atmospheric, hydrodynamic and data, as well as addressing operational forecasting, design and planning needs.
