Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors Model Enhancement Program. Tidal Circulation Prototype Data Collection Effort. Volume 1. Main Text and Appendixes A through C

Abstract

A tidal circulation study of the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors was conducted by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. Field data were collected from 5 tide gages and 16 current meters for use in calibration and verification of a numerical circulation model. The methods and results of the field data collection effort are presented. Analysis was performed to verify the quality of the tidal data and the flow patterns revealed by the current data. (edc)
