AB: The NOPP Nearshore Community Model (NearCoM) is coupled with the shelf-scale circulation model ROMS and the shelf-scale wave generation and transformation model SWAN. A Model Coupling Environment Library (MCEL) technique is used for model coupling through a centralized server and client applications. The model coupling system includes the real-time interactions between models with different theoretical basis and different-scales and thus provides a comprehensive model of waves, tides, wave-induced nearshore circulation in tidal inlet regions. An application of the system is conducted in the Delaware Bay including the Indian River Inlet as a target prediction region. The model is validated using measured data and the model coupling efficiency is tested in both a 4-processor cluster and distributed linux workstations with a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)-based network. Based on the MCEL model coupling framework, the system is going to be enhanced by integrating more functional components such as the meteorological model and coastal flooding model in the system for real-time predictions of waves, currents, storm surges, and coastal inundations.
