## Team Objectives

- Sea-state dependent surface drag – implement in ADCIRC + WW3
- Implement data assimilation with forecast capability
- Operational model runs during events
- Creation of enhanced output products
- Post event wave / water level analysis
- Mesh upgrades – topo/bathy, land cover
- COAMPS-TC interface – AWS process MetGet
- Evaluation of ADCIRC + WW3 with multiple unstructured meshes

## Team Objectives
- ADCIRC+SWAN / ADCIRC+WW3 forecast systems with additional components of data assimilation of water level, XBeach, damage analysis, sea-state dependent surface stress
- Deterministic forecasts of water level, waves, erosion and damage for tropical cyclone events in 2022-2024
- Post tropical cyclone event analyses
- Evaluate unstructured ADCIRC+WW3 performance
- COAMPS-TC interface via AWS service MetGet
- Mesh upgrades - topo/bathy, land cover
