If circulation models are sensitive to bottom friction on the Louisiana-Texas shelf, what is the sensitivity of wave
models to bottom friction formulation in that region?

• Model Response Sensitivity to Wave Bottom Friction Formulation– Madsen and JONSWAP formulations are both adequate– The JONSWAP friction coefficient is sensitive to bottom type,
therefore a Cjfon=0.019m2s-3 should be used for the muddy LATEX shelf.

What is the spatial and temporal contributions of wave radiation stress and non-linear advection terms in a
hurricane storm surge model and how do these processes compare with the other components of the
shallow water equations?

Galveston, TX• Component Contributions for Hurricane Ike (2008)– Non-linear advection captures 10-
20cm of geostrophic setup and increases resonant waves by 30-40cm.
– Wave radiation stress adds 20-40cm to maximum water levels and is responsible for an earlier rise in water levels.
– Bottom Friction and Coriolis were significant components in the development of Ike’s Forerunner.
