2. A new feature in EE7 3 is the ability to build input files for SWAN and then run SWAN directly from EE Note that this is not fully integrated dynamic coupling between SWAN and the EFDC model at this stage Instead EFDC will use the final SWAN output as input for the external wave model The steps to run SWAN from EE are as follows First it is necessary to create a SWAN input file This is done in ViewPlan under the Export Data dropdown button and selecting Export SWAN as shown in Figure 5 6 After selecting this option the Export to SWAN file from is opened as shown in Figure 5 7 www efdc explorer com 33 May 2015 efdc Dynamic Solutions J explorer Da International u ViewPlan 2D XY Viewer amp laa Editor LE s FIG Erika ike A 2 dh Ls ie See Rei tc Ee OP or S VERE Opt amp nana EG Bottom Elev Bottom Elev Export KML M Timing 4 alla gt Export Shapefile one DE F Functions Export NetCDF Mowe Elevation Transparent Enable Edit x Show Grid 3 Cell Map ID O Part Tracks Bottom Elev m O Ice Thick 13 75 2003 08 14 00 5 9 E Metric x 267 5528 4 680 8280 Figure 5 6 External Waves ViewPlan Export SWAN Option The user should select which input data is required for their SWAN model T

The ice temperature and the ice thickness are stored in EFDC INP file in C46A Appendix B shows the format for this file EFDC reads the file and applies it in the same way as ICECOVER INP All the other computations are the same as those for ISICE 1 except the initialization is whole model on or off rather than based on the ICEMAP INP file EFDC can also handle multiple ice series and weights based on different series like NISER www efdc explorer com 6 May 2015 JEG DSi Dynamic Solutions exolorer gt International uc 2 3 Use Heat Coupled Ice Model ISICE 3 The Heat Coupled Ice Model applies mass conservation during ice growth melt Ice is always calculated in the heat coupled ice model similar to CEQUAL W2 model upon which the EFDC_DSI ice sub model is based This option is most recommended for model simulations of lakes and reservoirs with relatively thick layers For rivers this option and frazil ice option are not fully representative This is due to small layer thickness in most river models Generally the layers used in rivers are too thin to produce ice Even though ice crystals form they are not thick enough to form an ice cover Currently the ice submodel in EFDC_DSI is only an ice cover model and not an ice and snow cover model The snow cover would account for snow on top of the ice and is expected to be added for an upcoming release The ice cover model allows light to be attenuated through the ice The solar radiation ab
