Operational Coastal Modeling System for the Integrated-MAritime Prediction System (I-MAPS)

Abstract

The nested high-resolution operational coastal modeling system has been developing for the coastal waters of Korea using a Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). The operational model ROMS is two-way coupled with wave model SWAN, internally coupled sediment transport model CSTMS and externally nested water quality model CE-QUAL-ICM. The hydrodynamic variables such as sea surface elevation, currents, temperature, salinity, storm surge height, and wave information are predicted twice a day in the 72 hours base. The coastal information system which is based on web-GIS system provides the predicted results with real-time monitoring data for dissemination to the public and validation of the operational model using various visualization techniques. This high-resolution operational coastal modeling system will be used for the development of Integrated-MAritime Prediction System (I-MAPS) as a part of the Korea Operational Oceanographic System (KOOS) with other operational oceanographic system.ally coupled sediment transport model CSTMS and externally nested water quality model CE-QUAL-ICM.
