Abstract: With the proliferation of low‐cost graphics systems and small computers, high‐quality computer graphic representation of the modeling of geophysical flow is feasible. In this work, storm surge activity on Lake Erie is ...

Abstract: A series of traditional statistical methods and nonparametric skill tests are assembled into a model statistical analysis program (MSAP) with the intent of evaluating their ability to verify surface water models. Using two ...

Abstract: Monthly and annual pollution loads delivered to Great Lakes receiving waters are made from data often collected far upstream of the mixing zone at the tributary receiving water confluence. The reliability of confluence ...

Abstract: A dynamic water quality model for storm induced flows in rivers is presented. The hydrodynamic portion is solved by a four‐point implicit Newton‐Raphson procedure, while the water quality code is formulated with a ...

Abstract: A two‐dimensional, multiclass‐size sediment transport model with source/sink terms for erosion and deposition, and a sediment bed model were developed and applied to Sandusky Bay, Ohio to study the transport of fine sand, ...

Abstract: Entrainment and deposition fluxes were measured in Central Long Island Sound. Data were collected with a 3‐MHz acoustic transceiver range gated to sample the sediment concentration in 1‐cm intervals in the bottom 70 cm of ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to identify, collate, and define the procedures required to evaluate the performance of an analytical or numerical surface water model. The essential elements are: Identification of the ...
