For general information, see the ADCIRC site, ADCIRC FAQ, or the ADCIRC Wikipedia page. For model documentation not yet available on the wiki, see the ADCIRC site. New content is being continuously added to the ADCIRCWiki, and material from the main ADCIRC site will be gradually transitioned over to the wiki.

Hotstart Output and Numeric Controls
For a 2DDI ADCIRC run that does not use netCDF, the file ends here. For any ADCIRC run that uses netCDF, the lines NCPROJ through NCDATE (described in the NetCDF Control section below) are required metadata and must be added at the end of the fort.15 file.
3D Model Run
NetCDF Control
The following lines will be read in only if the NetCDF output or hotstart format is chosen
Namelists
The following Fortran namelist lines are optional, but if they appear, they must appear at the very end of the fort.15 file.
