WIND ADCIRC

[mestan]

Hi everyone,

I ve got wind data in text file. It contains maximum wind velocity and its direction number for everyday.

for example;

year mounth day direction maxvelocity

2003--- 1--------1--------3-------- 5

2003--- 1--------2--------2------- 6

2003--- 1--------3--------2------- 7.5

which NWS is convenient? how can I add this text file to adcirc?

thanks any advice

It might help to know the intent of the model. If you want to force the entire model with a single wind speed then NWS=3 or 5 might work. You'll have to preprocess the data to the appropriate format and name the file "fort.22" for use by ADCIRC. The ADCIRC homepage has an example for NWS=3 (APES test case) that might be useful to look at.
