- A coupled model of surge, wave and tide (SuWAT) developed with the collaboration of Professors H. Mase and Mori at DPRI, Kyoto University and T. Yasuda at Kansai University.
- The SuWAT model on structured C grids has been rewritten based on Message Passing Interface to nest inner domains and robust calculation speeds.
- Wind and pressure force can be chosen by a parametric model and an external atmospheric circulation model.
- The source code of SuWAT is opened to the public and commercial sectors.
