Optimizing Wave Models with Genetic Algorithms for Typhoon Forecasting

Typhoon-driven waves resist easy prediction, and the SWAN model knows it. Under extreme conditions, its default parameters overestimate reality, a gap this study confronts directly. By applying a genetic algorithm to optimize key physical settings, the researchers achieved measurable gains in significant wave height accuracy for two South China Sea events, though mean wave period lagged, a limitation tied to spectral complexity. The balanced parameter scheme outperformed alternatives on the engineering-critical metric.
