Model domain and in situ data.
Modeling of nearshore environments has received more attention in recent years. Increase in computational power and creation of tools such as the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment-Transport (COAWST) model (Warner et al., 2008) have helped scientists to better understand coastal processes and nearshore environments and their interaction with sediment and vegetation.
The model used in this study was the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment-Transport (COAWST V3.3) (Warner et al., 2008). The domain was approximately 14 km long by 3 km wide with a grid size of 25 meters x 25 meters. The model was forced every 10 minutes with adp data. The model validation was done by caluclating bulk drag, turbulent kinetic energy, and Reynolds number.
