The Deltares modelling teams present 2023 Hurricane season results at at Seattle all-hands meeting

At the Seattle all-hands meeting in November 2023, the Deltares Modelling Team presented their results on the 2023 Hurricane Season. Presentations were given on the Cosmos modelling system and the surge and flooding estimates due to Idalia and Ophelia (De Goede), beach and dune erosion due to Lee and Ophelia (Quataert), offshore wave comparison to buoys for Lee and Idalia (Nederhoff), damages and impacts for Idalia and Ian (2022) (Athanasiou) and an outlook on the probabilistic assessments for Idalia (Van Ormondt).

Access the full presentations and analysis below: 

• Forecasting of total water levels and flooding of hurricanes Idalia and Ophelia (De Goede)
• Forecasting of morphological change during Lee and Ophelia (Quataert)
• Comparison of Hurrywave model results with drifter observations during Lee (Nederhofff)
• Damage estimations of coastal Florida during hurricanes Idalia and Ian (Athanasiou)
• Probabilistic hindcasts of Hurricane Idalia (Van Ormondt)
