Coastal Genesis II Terschelling - Ameland inlet (CGII-TA) model : model setup, calibration and validation of a hydrodynamic-wave model

In the framework of the Coastal Genesis II Program (GCII, or Kustgenese 2.0) a coupled hydrodynamic-wave model has been setup, calibrated and validated in and around Ameland Inlet. The model will be used as basis for modelling sand transport at the lower shoreface and sediment exchange through the Ameland inlet in a next phase of the project. This report presents the setup, calibration and validation of the model. Calibration and validation shows that the model is well capable of representing the water levels, currents and waves in and near the Ameland inlet. Hence, the model is considered well suitable as a base for sediment transport modelling in the next phases of the project.
