Description:

Abstract:

This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and WAVE hydrodynamic model input files used for Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) Tier 1 simulations. Tier 1 simulations cover the Northern California open-coast region, from the Golden Gate Bridge to the California/Oregon state border, and they provide boundary conditions to higher-resolution simulations. Simulations are run for several storm events (covering a range of no storm, 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year coastal storm conditions) and sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios.

Purpose:

The Coastal Storm Modeling system uses several tiers of numerical models to make detailed predictions (meter-scale) of flooding and erosion over large geographic scales. These input files provide the setup for Tier 1 simulations (as discussed in O'Neill and others, 2022). Files were created with Delft3D 4.04.01. These data are intended for science researchers, technical users, and students.

Supplemental_Information:

This work is one supporting part of ongoing modeling efforts for California and the western United States.

Process_Description:

Model grid, elevation and setup files for Tier 1 (as described by O'Neill and others, 2018) generated for Northern California. Model is set up in the spherical coordinate system and elevations are referenced to MSL. Model grid/setup validated for storm system in January 2010 using reanalysis wind/pressure fields over California (Kanamitsu and Kanamaru, 2007); regional water level RMSE (for all tide gages within Northern California open-coast region) is 12 cm and regional wave height RMSE (at buoys N42614 and N46022) is 57 cm. For an in-depth discussion of Tier 1 model setup see O'Neill and others (2018).

Process_Description:

Setup files adjusted for storm scenarios identified by Total Water Level proxies. Storm events identified and simulated are: 3 May 2031 (no storm); 9 February 2020, 10 December 2071, and 19 October 2058 (1-year storm); 9 February 2074, 10 December 2052, and 15 December 2063 (20-year storm); and 8 December 2023, 27 November 2056, 5 March 2044, and 23 December 2083 (100-year storm). For each event, setup files (wind, sea-level pressure, and wave forcing files) are adjusted to reflect GCM data and GCM waves for the storm's respective time period. For each storm event, simulations are run with a range of SLR: 0 m, 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 3.0 m, and 5.0 m. See O'Neill and others (2018) on scenario setup and Erikson and others (2018) for information on storm selection.
