This example provides the data and Python code to run a simulation of Hurricane Barry along the coast of Louisiana. On July 13, 2019, Barry made landfall on Marsh Island and second landfall in Intracoastal City, Louisiana, both times as a Category 1 hurricane.

Executing $ make all will compile the Fortran code, run the simulation, and plot the results.

Gauges 1-5 in the example correspond to 5 NOAA gauges along the US South Coast in Louisiana. The fetch_noaa_tide_data() method is used to compare the simulated gauge data to real data in setplot.py.
