COASTAL SCENARIOS DOCUMENTED WITH DIGITAL ATLASES -COMPUTATIONAL MODELING AND METADATA

摘要

Digital atlases with the facility for interpolation between pre-calculated states are intro-duced as fast alternative tools for detailed computational modeling in coastal studies. Standardized metadata used in coastal zone management are applied to document these scenarios. The generalized interpolation methods presented are metadata-driven and em-bedded in databased web services and interactive wind- and wave-atlas applications.
