“…Another interesting study by Nayak et al 92 considered the role of remote forcing effects from distant swells in modifying the local wind-wave climate. Sandhya et al 93 reported on the importance of an operational wave-forecasting system and its validation for a coastal location in India. Further progress in inland inundation modelling was made by Bhaskaran et al 21,22 using a version of ADCIRC in a coupled wave-hydrodynamic model (ADCIRC + SWAN), that runs in a parallel computing architecture.…”

Coastal inundation is the flooding of coastal zone resulting from increased river discharge, spring tides, severe storms, or generation of powerful waves from tectonic activity (tsunami). This article discusses the critical factors that contribute to coastal inundation. Among the probable factors that cause coastal flooding and destruction, storm surge is the most frequent, and hence this article provides a detailed evaluation of the progress made in storm inundation research. Recent advances in coastal inundation modelling include efforts to understand the nonlinear dynamic interaction of near-shore waves, wind and atmospheric pressure with still water sea level and coastal currents, and their combined effects on storm surge along the coast and interaction with coastal morphology. An advanced storm-surge model comprises different modules, viz. an atmospheric component, and two ocean components for surge and wave simulations; these modules are coupled with each other. The nesting of regional coastal model with an ocean-wide model captures the far-field boundary forcing of extreme events that usually originate from the warm open ocean. Even though significant advancements reported on the efficiency and accuracy of storm surge and inundation prediction, further studies are required to understand the nonlinear interaction of storm surge with coastal landforms and their vegetation (land cover). In the context of rising sea level, increased tropical cyclone activity and rapid shoreline change, it is pertinent to evaluate the future flooding risk associated with landfall of tropical cyclones in densely populated coastal cities.

“…The quality of wave prediction and analysis is also being continuously improved mainly due to the availability of high quality input wind fields for sea-state prediction with the advancement of satellite measurements/oceanography. In the Indian context, there are many reported important research contributions on wave prediction/ hindcasting using third generation wave models [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…There has been considerable advancement in the field of wave modelling and prediction all over the world [7][8][9][10][11][12]. In the past a number of studies are carried in the North Indian Ocean using deep water wave models WAM and WAVEWATCH III [13][14][15][16]. In India, with the launch of OCEANSAT-I (IRS-P4) in 1999, extensive validations were performed with the third generation wave model WAM C4 for the Indian Ocean region using the analysed wind fields provided by NCMRWF [17].…”
