Yesterday (May 6th) was the first day of dye releases. Although we had a couple of glitches things overall went very smooth. In the AM we deployed 15 fluorometers (measure dye concentration) at the SIO and WHOI current meter locations. Combined with the velocity measurements, this allows one to make flux measurements of dye out or into the inlet. The … Read More
Delft3D simulation on the new FRF bathymetry – first results (w. Rynne & Reniers) – updated
Today we have near gale force winds at New River Inlet. But there are model simulations to work up. As readers will recall, the FRF did a recent (Apr 16/17) bathymetry survey after the dredging of the main channel. The upshot is that the main channel is still very shallow and narrow. We have done two test dye releases (see … Read More
Delft3D dye simulations of New River Inlet (w. Ad Reniers & Patrick Rynne)
The youtube movie below shows Log10 dye concentration (no units) at New River Inlet released just up the inlet over t=2-4 hr. This simulation is forced by the M2 tide and has no stratification, no wind, and no waves. Top: time series of tidal elevation at (x,y)=(0,0) m. The red dashed line represents the current time location. Bottom: plan … Read More
