Abstract:

This Software Design Document SDD is written for the updated Navy Standard Surf Model, Version 3.2, or SURF 3.2, submitted to the Oceanognaphic and Atruospheric Master Library OAML. The new model includes improved wave refraction, modified surf index, and beach slope computations, and many other refinements such as reduced user input. An overview of the surf model and scientific equations for wave and longshore current computations are included. The SDD provides descriptions of software design and code. Detailed explanations of input param eters and model options are included.
