Issues• What is the Military requirement for HA/DR: Available resources are of interest ie;airports, docking facilities etc.• Non-tropical storm inundation is also required.• Providing inundation for planning, will need to build & run scenarios:‣ storm dimensions, central pressure/wind speeds, and forward speeds,‣ projected paths and projected landfall‣ watershed scenarios.• Is bathymetry and topography good enough? If not, need to acquirebathymetry/topography in OCONUS and build high resolution grids.• Limited personnel to meet storm surge requirements as well as EXW and oil spill• All Models depend on JTWC locations for storm parameters, not always available.• Are present models good enough? Do we need to include wave current coupling, setupand breaking wave dissipation, 3D vs. 2D, water basin and river input?• For immediate response need rapid response models, is PC-Tides good enough?• The inability to accurately predict or parameterize the storm wind field and applythat to the wind/wave/current interaction restricts improved forecasts.Approved for Public ReleaseNaval Oceanographic Office
