AbstractAccurate estimation of storm surge along the coasts subject to extreme storm conditions requires proper wind and pressure forcing and quantification of the wind waves resulting from local and far-field energy sources. This paper summarizes the steps involved in accurately representing the offshore wave climate for the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) domain, defined from the United States–Canadian border in Maine to the Virginia–North Carolina border. The motivation of the regional wave modeling is to provide offshore boundary conditions for the simulation of extreme extratropical and synthetic tropical events to drive the nearshore wave and surge modeling efforts within the NACCS. The offshore wave conditions were estimated using the third-generation WAve Modelling (WAM) model. Value-added wind fields were defined for each of the four wave model grids (North Atlantic Ocean Basin, U.S. Coastal Regional scale, and two subregional-scale grid systems covering the NACCS coastal domain)...
