Abstract

Highlights● The GAm-CHFS consists of 1) a Mississippi River Model (250m), 2) a GAm Ocean Model (1 km), and 3) several compound flooding models (100m).● The GAm-CHFS’s flexible model coupling, i.e., one-way river-ocean coupling and 2-way hydrological-ocean coupling, is crucial for flooding and water quality forecasts in coastal and ocean regions influenced by the Mississippi River● Developing a rapid and accurate AI model and ensemble forecasting system is prioritized for the GAm coastal hazards forecast.
