Beardsley MITSG Sea Grant College Program Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts NOAA Grant No. NA10OAR Project No R/RC-127 Presented at Oceans Signal Climate Change - A Stakeholder Science Forum, MIT Sea Grant College Program, May 29, 2013.
2 Development of An Inundation Forecast System for Massachusetts Coastal Waters Changsheng Chen University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, New Bedford, MA Robert C Beardsley Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543
3 Develop an end to-end inundation model system for Massachusetts Coastal Water and demonstrate its forecast capability for extratropical nor easter storm and hurricane-induced coastal flooding. Objectives

20 The February Blizzard Forecast The model-predicted total sea level at 10:00 AM EST on February 9, 2013 for the February 8-9 Blizzard. This prediction was made on February 7, 2013 and updated on February 8, 2013.
21 Future Challenge: Impacts of the Sea Level Rise ProjecRon of sea- level rise over based on the IPCC temperature projecron for three emission scenarios (B1, A2 and A1F1) (IPCC, 2007). Figure is downloaded from Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009).

23 1. A fully current-wave coupled FVCOM inundation model system is capable of capturing the storm-induced sea level change and coastal inundation. 2. Wave- current interacron is crircally important, especially it could change the current direcron from the along- shelf direcron to the onshore direcron over the northern shelf, enlarging the onshore water transport 3. The system is ready to assess the impact of the climate change-induced sea level rise on the future storm inundation. 4. Spash-over (water driven by onshore winds and waves over the coastal sea walls) caused significant flooding. This process must be included in the future improvement of the inundation system. Summary
