Table 2 Comparisons of model simulations and conclusions
From: Numerical computation of hurricane effects on historic coastal hydrology in Southern Florida
Simulations compared | Purpose of comparison | Conclusions |
|---|---|---|
RWVH and RWVL | Effects of wind field grid resolution | Low resolution wind grid is sufficient to represent hurricanes, saving data and computational effort |
HGU and HGVL | Effects of spatially uniform wind field grid and spatially variable wind field grid | The depiction of hurricane winds as uniform does not provide necessary storm wind geometry |
HN, HGU, and HGVL | Effects of major storms on hydrology | Storms can have substantial long-term effects on groundwater salinity with consequences for vegetation |
RWVL and HWVL | Effects of same storm in different time periods | Storm effects are quite similar for the same storm in different time periods |
RN and HGVL | Hindcast and recent simulation general comparison | Historical changes in hydrology are primarily traceable to sea level variability and water-management changes |
