Description:

As part of a U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) funded Coastal and Ocean Modeling Testbed (COMT), hindcasts of waves and storm surge for 2017 Hurricanes Irma and Maria are examined and compared to wave and water level gauge data in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and the U.S.Virgin Islands. The region is characterized by adjacent deep ocean water, narrow shelves, and coral reef systems providing coastal protection. The storm physics are analyzed using an unstructured grid third-generation wave circulation coupled modeling system (ADCIRC+SWAN) with respect to tides,winds, atmospheric pressure, waves, and wave radiation stress-induced setup. The water level response is generally dominated by the pressure deficit of the hurricanes. Wind-driven surge is important over the shallow shelf to the east of Puerto Rico and wave-induced setup becomes significant at locations in closeproximity to the coastline. Contrary to conditions along the Gulf of Mexico shelf, geostrophically induced
