NWS is an input in the fort.15 file that selects the meteorological forcing input type. One of the key advantages of ADCIRC is its ability to handle various meteorological input formats or generate tropical cyclone pressure and wind velocity fields from best-track data using internal parametric vortex generation algorithms. Special care must be taken with the selection of the NWS value and associate meteorological input file formats.
Parameter Summary
The following table is a summary of possible NWS values, their description, and associated meteorological input files (required and optional). (this is under development so only showing a few options at present).
| NWS Value | Short-name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Symmetric Holland Vortex | Points in the fort.14 are already mapped onto an arbitrary Cartesian coordinate system, e.g., UTM. Also useful for idealized problems. | ||
| 12 | OWI ASCII | Points in the fort.14 are specified in geographic coordinates, which will be projected using the CPP (equidistant) cylindrical mapping by ADCIRC. The curvature of the Earth is not accounted for. | ||
