Development of a Forecast Capability for Coastal Embayments of the Mississippi Sound
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work focuses on results from the second phase of development of a forecast system for coastal circulation in the Mississippi Sound and surrounding embayments in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. The basis of the forecast system is the 3-D finite element model, ADCIRC, driven by tides, river inflow, and wind. Sensitivity of the forecast model to wind stress and offshore boundary forcing is demonstrated. Limited area domain models of Bay St. Louis and the Pearl River highlight the influence of seasonal river flux.

In 1994, 1995, and 1996, seagrasses in 46 of the 89 coastal embayments and portions of seven open-water near-shore areas in Massachusetts were mapped with a combination of aerial photography, digital imagery, and ground truth verification. In the open-water areas, 9,477.31 ha of seagrass were identified, slightly more than twice the 4,846.2 ha detected in the 46 coastal embayments. A subset of ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of Sound Transmission Loss Measurement System for Measuring Muffler Performance
Muffler is a part of the vehicle exhaust system that absorb or reflect sound waves to reduce exhaust noise. One of the most important determinants of a muffler performance is the amount of attenuation that has on its input wave; this parameter is known as sound transmission loss. Four - mic standard test is one way to determine this parameter which is used in this paper. In this study, a test d...
متن کاملEutrophication risk assessment in coastal embayments using simple statistical models.
A statistical methodology is proposed for assessing the risk of eutrophication in marine coastal embayments. The procedure followed was the development of regression models relating the levels of chlorophyll a (Chl) with the concentration of the limiting nutrient--usually nitrogen--and the renewal rate of the systems. The method was applied in the Gulf of Gera, Island of Lesvos, Aegean Sea and ...
