Summary
Description
The Combined Hurricane Model data is a collaboration between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and researchers at the University of Miami and University of Texas at Austin. The model is unique in that it offers time-aligned predictions of full field atmospheric data (WRF), ocean current data (HYCOM), and wave data (UMWM) for two major storms: Hurricane Ike, a Category 4 storm which made landfall in Galveston, Texas in 2008, and Hurricane Sandy, a category 3 storm with a landfall north of Atlantic City.
