ADCIRC Model

Developer/Partners: UNC (2014)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): Coastal hazards

Intent: Hazard analysis

ADCIRC is a hydrodynamic modeling technology that conducts short- and long-term simulations of tide and storm surge elevations and velocities in deep-ocean, continental shelves, coastal seas, and small-scale estuarine systems

Inputs: Hydrodynamic data
Outputs: Prediction of storm surge and flooding

Computationally intensive and requires lots of data and computing power; Use with ASGS, CERA, CHS
