Researchers have developed a Deep Operator Network (DeepONet) as a surrogate model to predict bulk wave parameters, aiming to reduce the computational cost of storm surge prediction. This surrogate model learns the underlying continuous operator, enabling efficient predictions independent of discretization. When tested on a realistic simulation in Duck, NC, the DeepONet achieved a four-orders-of-magnitude improvement in computational efficiency while maintaining high accuracy in predicting significant wave height and radiation stress gradients.
