Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P1R9REKP Description: Abstract: A stand-alone wave model application was constructed using the spectral wave model SWAN within the Delft3D4 (version 4.04.01) modeling system to simulate nearshore wave dynamics along the coast of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon. Nearshore wave dynamics are solved at hourly intervals on a series of nested grids with resolutions varying between 750 m for the largest grid to about 80 m for the two detailed grids that cover the Grays Harbor and Columbia River inlets. The provided model input files are compressed into zip archives for each year of a hindcast simulation between August 2014 and September 2023. Additional input files are included that specify a second hindcast for the time period between July 2010 and August 2011. Purpose: The wave model application was constructed to investigate spatial and temporal variability in nearshore wave dynamics along the Columbia River littoral cell. The purpose of this data release is to provide researchers, engineers, and other potential users with model input files that can be used to run the SWAN wave model using the Delft3D4 modeling system.

Wave parameters at all of the sites were simulated skillfully with maximum root mean square errors of 0.42 m, 2.64 s, and 30.21 deg and average skill scores of 0.97, 0.81, and 0.78, for significant wave heights, peak wave periods, and mean wave directions, respectively. Notably, biases of -10 and -7 degrees were observed in the predicted wave directions for the two northern wave buoys. Logical_Consistency_Report: All data falls within expected ranges.

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The spectral wave model SWAN was applied using the Delft3D-Wave modeling system (Deltares, 2024) to simulate wave transformation and dynamics from offshore of the continental shelf to the coastline. The model application consisted of nested grids with resolutions varying between 750 m for the largest grid to about 80 m for the two detailed grids that cover the Grays Harbor and Columbia River inlets. Model bathymetry was derived from recent data sets collected by the USGS, NOAA, and USACE between 2004 and 2020 as described in Stevens and others (2020). Wave energy was discretized into 24 frequency bins between 0.03 and 1 Hz and 72 directional bins. The model was forced on the open lateral boundaries with bulk wave parameters obtained from the ERA5 reanalysis (Herschbach and others, 2023) and on the free surface with space- and time-varying wind vectors from the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (Dowell and others, 2022) operational forecast model with roughly 3 km spatial resolution. Wind growth and white-capping were based on Komen (1984). The JONSWAP bottom friction model with a coefficient of 0.038 m2s-3 and wave breaking based on Battjes and Jannsen (1978) with default settings (alpha = 1, gamma =0.73) were used. SWAN was run as a stand-alone wave model neglecting the effects of wave current interaction. Convergence criteria were set to 98 percent of cells and a maximum of 15 iterations during the simulations. Process_Date: 20180105 Process_Step: Process_Description: The forcing conditions were updated and wave dynamics were solved within the model domains at 1-hr intervals in stationary mode between 2014 and 2023. A second hindcast was run between July 2010 to September 2011 to simulate seasonal variations in wave climate during the Southwest Washington Littoral Drift Restoration (SWLDR) beach nourishment and monitoring study (Stevens and others, 2012). The HRRR wind forcing was not available for this time period, so an alternative downscaled wind product was used (CONUS404, Rasmussen and others, 2023). CONUS404 is a high-resolution meteorological reanalysis created by downscaling ERA5 data to a 4-km spatial resolution over the continental United States using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model.
