Description:"In this study we focused on simulating the distribution and intensity of local wind waves that would be generated during hurricanes, especially at the shoreline. Our study included simulating alternate paths of hurricanes and presenting only the wind waves impact on our study areas during the course of hurricanes. We utilized WEMo to recognize the areas along shorelines where maximum damage could occur. It should be noted that these computations were done in the absence of storm surge which could propagate waves on and inshore of the current shoreline; integration of WEMo and storm surge modeling represents the next generation of forecasting effort"--Page 5.
