Real-time prediction of waves and storm surges employing meteorological data and its provision by using virtual buoy system

准确的实时波浪预测是沿海减灾的宝贵资源，特别是在确定灾害疏散计划和洪水对策的启动时。本研究利用全球天气预报系统资料、中尺度天气模式WRF和波浪-风暴潮耦合模式，开发了波浪和风暴潮实时预报系统。在更精细的区域中，还采用了HAGPV（小时可用网格点值）大气分析数据。虚拟浮标系统是使用谷歌地图API来实现的，以直观地显示天气和波浪预测结果。

Accurate real-time wave prediction is an invaluable resource for coastal disaster mitigation, especially when determining the activation of disaster evacuation plans and inundation countermeasures. This study developed the real-time wave and storm surge prediction system using the Global Forecast System data, mesoscale weather model WRF and wave-surge coupled model. HAGPV (Hourly Available Grid Point Value) atmospheric analysis data is also employed in the finer domain. The virtual buoy system is accomplished using the Google Maps API to visually show weather and wave prediction results.
