Abstract

As an environmental phenomenon, hurricanes cause significant property damage and loss of life in coastal areas almost every year. Research concerning hurricanes and their aftermath is gaining more and more attention. The potential changeability of hurricane data and hurricane models requires robust, maintainable and easily extensible software system for hurricane simulation. Focusing on the design and implementation of the components in each layer, we describe a hurricane simulation system built on the three-tier architecture to achieve good flexibility, extensibility and resistance to potential changes.
