“…This paper describes the use of focus groups to obtain stakeholder input on continued enhancements to two interrelated, real‐time decision‐support tools focused on coastal Louisiana, USA. : a hurricane storm surge model (advanced ocean circulation [ADCIRC]) (Bunya et al, 2010; Cobell, Zhao, Roberts, Clark, & Zou, 2013) and an interactive decision‐support visualization tool (Coastal Emergency Risks Assessment [CERA]) (Blanton et al, 2012; Dietrich et al, 2013; Twilley et al, 2014; http://cera.coastalrisk.live). We report on the process of soliciting stakeholder input and their insights and recommendations that were project outcomes.…”

Coastal managers and other stakeholders use visualization tools based on computational models to support hazard-related decision-making. Since the 1990s, there has been much progress on the development of computational models designed to simulate tides and storm surge (Bilskie et al., 2016;Bunya et al., 2010). Although some stakeholder assessments of models and related visualization tools designed to communicate tide and surge results exist (eg U.S.

The Mississippi Sound and Bight is a complex coastal system with shallow estuarine waters that are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and anthropogenic influences. In order to further our understanding of the system and provide natural resource managers and decision-makers with science-based guidance, a pre-operational coastal ocean forecast system has been developed using the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Wave Sediment Transport Modeling System (COAWST). The COAWST application for Mississippi Bight (msbCOAWST) can be run in hindcast mode, pre-operational near real-time mode, or forecast mode and relies on other operational models including the National Water Model (NWM) for river forcing, the High Resolution Rapid Refresh model (HRRR) for atmospheric forcing, and the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) for open ocean boundary forcing. msbCOAWST is being validated using data from a variety of in situ measurements that quantify coastal processes, including tides and water quality parameters (i.e. temperature and salinity). The highest model skill is obtained for temperature followed by water levels and salinity. msbCOAWST has been used to provide guidance for quantifying how freshwater influences derived from river diversion operations impact water quality in estuarine waters. While the model is initially developed to study water quality and circulation in pre-operational near real-time and forecast modes, it is currently being extended to include waves, sediment transport, and biogeochemistry and also linked with habitat suitability models and ecological models in hindcast mode so as to comprehensively reveal consequential environmental concerns due to the onset and persistence of hypoxia, seasonal and storm-induced waves with their associated impacts on the region’s fisheries and shellfisheries.

The COAWST application for Mississippi Bight (msbCOAWST) can be run in hindcast mode, pre-operational daily mode, or forecast mode and relies on other operational models including the National Water Model (NWM) for river forcing, the High Resolution Rapid Refresh model (HRRR) for atmospheric forcing, and the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) for open boundary forcing. msbCOAWST is being validated using data from a variety of in situ measurements that quantify coastal processes, including tides, and water quality (i.e. temperature and salinity). The highest model skill is obtained for temperature followed by water levels and salinity. msbCOAWST has been used to provide guidance for quantifying how freshwater influences derived from river diversion operations impact habitat suitability for oysters. The model is currently being extended to include waves, sediment transport, and biogeochemistry and in the future will be linked with ecological models so as to comprehensively reveal consequential environmental concerns such as harmful algal blooms and the onset and persistence of hypoxia, with their associated impacts on the region’s fisheries and shellfisheries.
