From @rjweaver9 : Hello StormSurgeLive/asgs !

JMSE (IF 2.9) is hosting a special issue on real-time forecasting of waves and storm surge. As a guest editor, I invite submissions to this Special Issue through the following web link: https://www.mdpi.com/si/186944

Special Issue Title: Real-Time Forecasting of Waves and Storm Surge
Website: https://www.mdpi.com/si/186944
Guest Editor: Dr. Robert J. Weaver
Affiliation: Florida Institute of Technology, Department of Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences, Melbourne, FL, USA
Deadline for Submission: 5 March 2024

Severe weather events such as tropical cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons are dynamic and powerful forces of nature that significantly impact coastal regions worldwide. Storm surge flooding and the accompanying waves and currents produced by these events can cause catastrophic damage including loss of human life and destruction of infrastructure.

Real-time forecasting plays a pivotal role in predicting and mitigating the potentially devastating consequences of these extreme weather phenomena. In recent years, technological advancements have significantly improved the precision and lead time of real-time forecasts for waves and storm surges.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions of papers that underscore the challenges in forecasting waves, storm surge inundations, and other coastal phenomena, as well as their solutions, providing crucial information for disaster preparedness and response in coastal regions susceptible to extreme weather events.

Regards,
-Robert
