Mohid Swan

In this wiki it would be commented how to implement the Swan model into the Mohid modelling software.

Software Needed

In addition to the Mohid model it will be needed the following software to achive the goal.

• Swan Model
• Matlab

Bathymetry

The bathymetry should be converted from the Mohid format to the Swan format using the software mohidbatim2swan.m. that would convert the file from the extension .dat to the extension .bty

The bathymetry resolution should be betwwen 1 km or 2 km while for the WaveWatch III software the resolution is around 5 km.

The bathymetry should be visualised using notepad or a software called sigma that needs to be localed in the root directory c:\

Sigma -> Task File -> Show so far -> Linha CGWID

Boundary Conditions

Wind

Wind vectors should also be provided from other model results (i.e. MM5 or WRF) and then converted to the SWAN format using ConvertToHDF5 using the option "ConvertHDF5ToSWANorMOHID" that will provide a hourly file with values for x and y directions, be aware of the file size.

Tide

The tide sould be obtained from other models (i.e. PCOMS), or calculated (i.e. TidePrev) and interpolated to the grid.
