Forcing Abbreviations

m - meteorology

rs - Wave radiation stress in an analyst-supplied fort.23 input file

sw - Wave coupling using a simulataneously executing coupled SWAN model

st - Wave coupling using a simultaneously executing ESMF coupled STWAVE model

ic - Ice coverage using an analyst-supplied ice coverage data files

Requirements

f22 - Requires analyst-supplied fort.22 meteorological forcing file.

f2xx+ - Requires at least two fort.2xx meteorological forcing files from the GFS model. See fort.22 documentation for file naming and formatting details.

f22x - Requires datasets of pressure and wind data in OWI formatted fort.221 and fort.222 files respectively, optionally including nested wind and pressure in fort.223 and fort.224 files. See fort.22 documentation for details.

hwind+ - Requires two or more meteorological forcing files from the H*Wind model. See fort.22 documentation for details.

gfdl+ - Requires two or more meteorological forcing files from the GFDL model. See fort.22 documentation for details.

pp - Requires preprocessing of the ATCF formatted track file using the ASymmetric Wind Input Preprocessor (aswip) program (distributed with ADCIRC) prior to use as input for this parametric vortex model.

f23 - Requires analyst-supplied fort.23 wave radiation stress input file.

A+S - Requires ADCIRC+SWAN executable and input files for the coupled version of SWAN.

STW - Requires ESMF-coupled ADCIRC and STWAVE and input files for STWAVE.

f25 - Requires analyst-supplied fort.25 ice coverage input file as well as a fort.225 basin scale ice coverage file and possibly an optional fort.227 region scale ice coverage file.

Notes

a - Radiation stress time increment (RSTIMINC) represents the time increment between the datasets in the fort.23 file (in seconds).

b - RSTIMINC represents the span of ADCIRC simulation time that passes between calls to the coupled wave model.

c - NWS formats 1, 2, and 7 do not support the use of ice coverage (fort.25) files.
