SWASH Model Water Level Timeseries at Wrightsville Beach, NC during Hurricane Isaias, August 2020
This data release contains model output of water level elevation time series generated by the Simulating WAves till SHore (SWASH) model to simulate storm-induced water levels from Hurricane Isaias at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (NC), USA. Water levels were simulated along three different cross-shore profiles over a period of 10 hours around the peak of the storm from 2300 GMT on August 3, 2020, to 0900 GMT on August 4, 2020. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Birchler and others (2024).
