Rat Island Field Benchmark
This test compares against tide gage and DART buoy gages
from the Rat Island Event of Monday, November 17, 2003 at 06:43:07 (UTC).
benchmark site:
http://nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/benchmark/Field/Field_RatIsland/index.html
DART buoys:
Of the three buoys indicated in Figure 1 of the benchmark page, only the
northern two seem to have data available online for 2003.
GeoClaw simulation is still under development.
Challenges:
- No bathymetry data is provided.
- No earthquake source data is provided.
Perhaps use USGS source?
- No DART data is provided on benchmark site and the plots in
Figure 1 are very small.
Other sources of information:

inundation models for real-time forecasting,
