Description:The authors explore how a coupled numerical hydrodynamic 1- D circulation model and bottom boundary layer model can more accurately simulate the effects of the nonlinear interaction between current and prevailing surface gravity effects of the nonlinear interaction between current and prevailing surface gravity waves on local bottom stress. They focus on storm wave conditions typical to the Gulf of Maine. Specifically, National Data Buoy Center buoy measurements in the Gulf of Maine document the temporal variability of the significant wave height at the dominant storm wave period of about 12 seconds. Surface waves of this period interact with the bottom in water depths less than about 80 m.
