Abstract
Abstract Dynamic conditions occur in the coastal ocean during severe storms. Forecasting these conditions is challenging, and large‐scale numerical models require significant computing power. In this paper, we describe a real‐time modeling system (DUNEX‐RT), developed in support of the During Nearshore Event experiment (DUNEX) off the coast of North Carolina, United States of America. The model is run with wave, current, and water level boundary conditions from larger‐scale models, and provides 36‐h forecasts of significant wave height, depth‐averaged velocity, and water levels every 6‐h using Delft3D‐SWAN. Observations and forecasts run at different times are compared and communicated via an interactive website to verify model performance in real‐time and to visualize uncertainty from changing inputs. Here, we evaluate model sensitivity to inputs from seven different atmospheric hindcasts and two atmospheric forecasts for Hurricane Dorian in September 2019. The results emphasize the importance of accurate wind forcing, with significant differences observed between the output model results for different input atmospheric forcing models and forecasts produced at different times. The best results were achieved using atmospheric forcing from the high resolution rapid refresh model, and overall, DUNEX‐RT had low errors at 33 wave, water level, and current sites across the system. The model results for water levels and significant wave heights were also accurate over a longer period of 49 days. Overall, the good forecast skill achieved for the wide range of conditions over this time results suggest that this high‐resolution regional approach could be applied to forecast conditions in other coastal areas.

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 it
