Water residence time in Chesapeake Bay for 1980–2012

Water properties in Chesapeake Bay from MODIS-Aqua measurements

a r t i c l e i n f o This study evaluates the performance of ocean color products derived from measurements of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the satellite Aqua using the standard near-infrared (NIR) and the shortwave infrared (SWIR)-based atmospheric correction algorithms in the Chesapeake Bay. The MODIS-Aqua-derived normalized water-leaving radiances, nL w (λ), ...

Interactive Chesapeake Bay Simulation

Scientists use sophisticated numerical models to study ocean circulation and other physical systems, but the complex nature of such simulation software generally make them inaccessible to non-expert users. In principle, however, numerical models represent an ideal teaching tool, allowing users to model the response of a complex system to changing conditions. We have designed an interactive simu...

Chesapeake Bay Analysis using Time and Spatial Generalized Eigenfunctions

A Normal Mode Analysis of the Chesapeake Bay has reached the phase of performing time-series analysis. Prior attempts using generalized eigenfunctions obtained from COMSOL have led to extraction of power spectra using a partial domain extraction and a waveletlike correction to the result. A new approach has been developed which effectively solves the spatial equivalent of the Initial Value Prob...
