Abstract
This paper will explain the US Army Corps of Engineers Island Program with respect to spectral wave transformation, coastal surge and island inundation during tropical cyclone events. Components of this program are the Pacific Island Land Ocean Typhoon (PILOT) and the Surge & Wave Island Modeling Study (SWIMS). PILOT is the data collection of the Island Program. It is designed to capture nearshore oceanographic conditions during a typhoon event. SWIMS is the other component of the Island Program and is designed to develop the next generation wave transformation, coastal surge and island inundation model.
