Overview¶

BMKG previously operated independent atmospheric, wave, and ocean models, which limited the representation of cross-domain interactions in forecast outputs. To address this limitation, BMKG has implemented InaCAWO, a three-way coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean modeling system.

InaCAWO provides significantly higher spatial resolution and improved physical coupling between model components, enabling more accurate simulation of complex air-sea processes.

The system enhances forecast accuracy and spatial localization, supporting more reliable early warning and decision-making for severe weather and marine hazards.

Inside the InaCAWO system, the SWAN model plays a crucial role in simulating wave dynamics in coastal and nearshore areas. In this documentation, we will explore the SWAN model's features, configurations, and tutorials to help users effectively utilize this powerful wave modeling tool, independent of the InaCAWO system.
