Down-scale marine hydrodynamic analysis at the Norwegian coast from metocean to FSI—The NORA-SARAH open framework
Key Points
Marine hydrodynamics improved through down-scaling in numerical models, optimizing accuracy of predictions that are crucial in coastal areas.
Key evidence shows a significant enhancement in data resolution by over 30%, thereby increasing the reliability of forecasts under varying environmental conditions.
Analysis involved utilizing the NORA-SARAH open framework for effective integration of metocean data within numerical models across the Norwegian coast.
The implications highlight the method's potential to better inform coastal management practices and environmental monitoring efforts.
