Exploiting the Potential of Coastal GNSS-R for Improving Storm Surge Modeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The potential mymargin for improving storm surge simulation is demonstrated by using winds derived from ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) that uses BeiDou geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellite signals. We reconstruct wind fields by blending GNSS-R coastal winds with the European Center for Median Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis product. The reconstructed winds agree well with the weather station data collected at Yangjiang in Guangdong, China. The ECMWF winds and the reconstructed winds are used to force a storm surge model off the Chinese coast during typhoon Utor 2013, respectively. The model storm surges forced by the reconstructed winds agree substantially better with tide-gauge observations than those forced by the ECMWF winds. The average error has been reduced by 30.5% from 24.3 cm with the ECMWF winds to 16.9 cm with the reconstructed winds. This letter suggests that GNSS-R coastal winds can have a positive impact on the accuracy of storm surge hindcasting directly and forecasting indirectly by improving the initial conditions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
