An Observational Model of Far-Field Transport

by Raymond Walton, Camp Dresser & McKee Inc, Boston, MA, USA,
Jonathan A. French, Camp Dresser & McKee Inc, Boston, MA, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Coastal Zone '87

Abstract:

Accurate numerical simulation of the transport and fate of constituents in coastal waters is made difficult by the general inability to adequately specify open-water boundary conditions for the hydrodynamic model. Instead, an observational model may provide sufficient detail to permit sound engineering judgement.
