Modeled nearshore wave parameters along the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2010-2023

Model hindcasts were performed with a spectral wave model to quantify nearshore wave parameters along the Columbia River littoral cell, Oregon and Washington. The spectral wave model SWAN was used to simulate nearshore wave dynamics at 1-hr intervals along the coast between 2014 and 2023. A second hindcast simulated wave dynamics between 2010 and 2011. This data release describes the development and validation of the model application, provides simulated bulk wave parameters from the hindcasts, and makes available input files suitable to run the models using the Delft3D4 modeling system version 4.04.01.
