Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P946SC3L Description: Abstract: Simulations of water levels in the Salish Sea over the period October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2020 were conducted to validate the Salish Sea hydrodynamic model. The model accounts for sea level position, tides, remote sea-level anomalies, local winds and storm surge and stream flows as they affect water density. Comparison of modeled and measured water levels showed the model predicts extreme water levels at NOAA and USGS tide gage stations within 0.15 m. Model inputs and outputs of time-series forcing and water levels, respectively, are presented. Purpose: These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data are not intended to be used for navigation. Supplemental_Information: This work is part of the ongoing coastal hazard modeling efforts for the State of Washington.

The model domain extends across the entire Salish Sea and Vancouver Island to ~180 km south of the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Elevations and bathymetry for US waters were prescribed from Tyler and others (2020) and for Canadian water utilizing Carignan and others (2013). Seasonal salinity representing average autumn and winter condition were prescribed as an initial condition based on average October through March depth-profile temperature, salinity, and density measurements spanning 1999-2017 by the State of Washington Department of Ecology Marine Waters Monitoring Program (Washington Department of Ecology, 2022). Stream discharge was prescribed at the mouth of the 24 largest streams in Washington State (USGS, 2022) and the Fraser River in British Columbia (Environment and Natural Resources Canada, 2020). Oceanic boundaries were forced using astronomic tidal constituents derived from the satellite-derived FES 2012 global tide model (Lyard and others, 2006) and HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) sea surface height data (Chassignet and others, 2007). Hourly wind and atmospheric pressure data were prescribed on the open boundary sourced from Canada�s 2.5-km High-Resolution Deterministic Prediction System (HRDPS) (Environment Canada, 2020). Roughness values were calibrated to optimize tidal propagation.

Process_Date: 20210630 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: Simulated water levels Process_Step: Process_Description: Simulated water levels were compared against time-series measurements of observed water levels from NOAA tide gages (NOAA, 2020) and USGS tide stations (Nowacki and others, 2021) throughout the study area. All water level observations were made or converted to a common vertical datum (NAVD88) and water level data were interpolated in time from the native measurement interval (between 6 and 15 minutes depending on site) to the 10-minute output interval of the model simulations. Bulk error metrics describing the comparisons between model and observations over the entire simulation time frame (October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2020) were calculated following Jolliff and others (2009). Total root-mean-square error (RMSE) was less than 20 cm for water levels at all of the measurement sites and described in detail in Grossman and others (XXXX).
