• The models were developed by government or private entities
• Hydrodynamic models compute water surface elevations and velocities
• Wave models compute wave characteristics
• GenCade is a shoreline model that predicts how the coastline will move based upon long term wave information
• PTM tracks particle positions through time based upon hydrodynamics and wave effects
