The ADCIRC Prediction System (APS) is a coastal hazards prediction system built around the ADCIRC coastal circulation and storm surge model.
Coastal water level, wave and inundation forecasts are provided as part of an active, community-based research program to improve and expand these capabilities. Forecasts for the US East and Gulf coasts are updated four times daily using meteorological forecasts from the Global Forecast System.
During tropical events additional water level, wave and inundation model forecasts are provided using alternative meteorological forecasts.
APS results can be viewed using the APSViz webportal and are also available in different data product formats upon request.
The ADCIRC Prediction System™ was developed by the Center for Natural Hazards Resilience and the Renaissance Computing Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The Water Institute, Baton Rouge, LA. Support was provided by the US Department of Homeland Security, Office of Science and Technology, Coastal Resilience Center of Excellence and resources provided by the developing organizations.
