Simulating TC Sidr over Bangladesh 

  • We used the physics-based hydrodynamic model ADCIRC-2DDI (ADvanced CIRCulation model, two-dimensional barotropic tides, Version 55.01) in our study.
  • A high-fidelity unstructured mesh was designed...

Sai Ravela, Joaquin Salas, Anamitra Saha, A Machine Learning Approach to Surface Roughness Length Estimation

In this project, we estimate surface roughness length (z0), a critical boundary layer parameter. Our results are provided at 1km spatial resolution and...
