I am looking for good reasons, beyond the obvious ones (e.g. computational efficiency), to use only 2d flow models for storm surge forecasting. We have nowadays quite sophisticated modeling environments in 3d but most of the storm surge model are at it's best 2d coupled to phase average wave models.

I like to say in advance that I do not think efficiency is a constraint anymore, especially not, if u consider the significance of this hazard for the coastal community.
