FAQ

• Can ASGS only run ADCIRC/ADCIRC+SWAN

ASGS supports ADCIRC really, really well. But it's not fundamentally just for running ADCIRC.

ASGS was originally created to support running ADCIRC and coupled ADCIRC+SWAN in an operational forecasting mode during the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Since then, it has evolved into a general purpose operational environment that has the potential to support different forecasting modes, geographical locations, computer models, and use cases.

• Can ASGS support the XYZ Model?

Theoretically, ASGS is positioned to support a wide variety of ocean and meteorological models. And while work is required to implement this support, ASGS comes with the software environment (and developer experience) to evaluate ASGS' fit for particular applications.
