Tides

The motions of water in ebb and flood currents, driven by the gravitational attraction of the Sun and moon on the Earth, at times influenced by wind events. Distributions are observations of tidal height, currents, and cycles, at specific locations and times, and they include maps of tidal climatology based on combinations of observations, astronomy, hydrodynamic theory, and numerical models. Assessments evaluate tidal energy potential, technologies, and risks; model the effects of tides on other uses; and evaluate risks associated with extreme tides. Predictions are the results of models or projections of future tidal climatology, tidal energy potential, effects, and risks; these data include predicted changes due to economic, regulatory, technological, and environmental changes.

CoSMoS 3.2 Northern California sub-regional tier 2 FLOW-WAVE model input files

This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and WAVE hydrodynamic model input files used for Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) sub-regional tier 2 simulations. Sub-regional tier 2 simulations cover portions of the Northern California open-coast region, from Point Arena to the California/Oregon state border, and they provide boundary conditions to higher-resolution simulations. Simulations are run for several storm events (covering a range of no storm, 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year coastal ...

CoSMoS 3.2 Northern California Tier 1 FLOW-WAVE model input files

This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and WAVE hydrodynamic model input files used for Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) Tier 1 simulations. Tier 1 simulations cover the Northern California open-coast region, from the Golden Gate Bridge to the California/Oregon state border, and they provide boundary conditions to higher-resolution simulations. Simulations are run for several storm events (covering a range of no storm, 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year coastal storm conditions) and sea-level ...

Hydrodynamic modeling of the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon and Washington, 2013

A process-based numerical model of the mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) and estuary, Oregon and Washington, was applied to simulate hydrodynamic conditions for the time period of the Office of Naval Research-funded River and Inlets Dynamics (RIVET II) field experiment conducted between May 9 and June 15, 2013. The model application was constructed using Delft3D, an open-source software package used to solve the unsteady shallow water equations to simulate water motion due to tides, waves, wind, and ...
