By harnessing advanced data-driven approaches, the research aims to enable storm surge predictions up to five days in advance, strengthening Singapore&#8217;s preparedness and response strategies against coastal hazards.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Research Goals<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1585\">Develop an advanced machine learning-based model for storm surge prediction.<\/li>\r\n<li data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1585\">Enhance the accuracy and efficiency of forecasting along Singapore&#8217;s coastlines.<\/li>\r\n<li data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1585\">Strengthen early warning capabilities to support coastal resilience and disaster preparedness.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Why This Matters<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li data-start=\"2590\" data-end=\"2762\">Equips Singapore with the capability to predict storm surges up to five days in advance, improving preparedness and response to coastal hazards.<\/li>\r\n<li data-start=\"2590\" data-end=\"2762\">Establishes a real-time data network that integrates local and global weather information for faster and more accurate storm surge predictions.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Latest Research Highlights<\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Enhanced Understanding of Tidal Dynamics and Water Level Variability<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Developed a tidal and wind-induced model using Delft3D, analyzing water levels and sea level anomalies to support numerical modeling of extreme events.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong>Pure Data-Driven Model for Fast Storm Surge Prediction<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Engineered key features from regional wind data correlated with storm surge occurrence, achieving high prediction accuracy using historical data.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong>Physics-Informed Data-Driven Model for Improved Prediction Accuracy and Efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Developed a physics-informed data-driven model that predicts wave profiles by integrating physical equations with sensor data, significantly reducing prediction time through hyperparameter tuning.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"WP2\"
