Discussion of a Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays
A time-varying three-dimensional (3-D) numerical model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays has been developed to address the impact of deepening the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D)...
Long-Term Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamics of Chesapeake Bay
A time-varying 3D numerical model of Chesapeake Bay has been developed to provide flow fields to a 3D water quality model of the bay. The water surface, 3D velocity field, salinity, and...
Seismic Risk Considerations for Transportation Systems
During the recent Loma Prieta Earthquake, major damage to certain key transportation elements greatly affected operations of major transportation systems within the San Francisco Bay Area....
Pile Foundation Construction Practice in Stiff Clays with Dense Granular Layers
A survey was conducted recently in conjunction with a project located in the San Francisco Bay Area to ascertain the general pile driving practice in stiff overconsolidated clays interbedded...
Coastal Zone Planning
The first objective of this methodology is to provide a feasible and practical tool to identify the potentialities of the coastal zone. The coastal environment constitutes a fragile, little...
Fouling and Wood-Boring Communities Distribution on the Coast of Rio De Janeiro
The paper reports on a study of the dynamics of fouling communities and the distribution of wood-boring organisms along the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which was motivated by the...
Hydrobiological Characterization of Guanabara Bay
Guanabara Bay forms an ecological unity with serious environmental problems derived from an accelerated and unorganized process of urbanization without the necessary support. The UFRJ/Institute...
Vertical Distribution of Barnacles of the Intertidal Rocky Shores of Guanabara Bay, RJ, Brazil
This paper aims to give a quantitative analysis, using the belt-transect method, to describe the Balanomorpha species vertical zonation models of the intertidal in the rocky beaches of...
An Analytical Synoptic-Dynamic Study About the Severe Weather Event Over the City of Rio De Janeiro on January 2, 1987
The paper reviews the synoptic parameters that lead to the severe weather occurred on January 2, 1987 over the city of Rio de Janeiro. The pattern of this weather was reported on the newspapers...
Heavy Metals Pollution Monitoring Through the Critical Pathways Analysis: The Sepetiba Bay Case
The methodology of the critical pathway analysis has been widely employed to monitor the environmental impact of nuclear power plants in the aquatic environment. This methodology has been...
A Local Approach to Regulating Toxic Air Contaminants
The Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District began developing a local toxic rule that would apply to a broad number of pollutants and yet be readily usable to a permitting engineer....
An Ongoing Investigation of Residual Suspended Material Transport in Central San Francisco Bay, CA
A study of suspended material transport in San Francisco Bay, California, is presently underway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paper describes preliminary numerical model and...
Model-Prototype Comparison of the Bay Springs Lock, Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Mississippi
A comprehensive prototype evaluation of the Bay Springs Lock, Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Mississippi, was conducted by the Hydraulics Laboratory, Waterways Experiment Station (WES)....
Protection of Juvenile Anadromous Fish
Protection of juvenile anadromous fish (salmon, steelhead, etc. ) during their seaward migration is a major concern in the Pacific Northwest. The existing screening structures at the head...
Model Studies for Potential Modification of Pardee Spillway
East Bay Municipal Utility District, a public water supply agency in the San Francisco Bay Area, is examining the spillway adequacy of its primary water supply reservoir. Flood routing...
