Application Criteria for the Automated Real-Time Tidal Elevation System (ARTTES)
Abstract
ARTTES systems are presently being operated in support of two large scale channel deepening projects, one by the Jacksonville District at Saint Marys River entrance, the other by the Charleston District at the entrance channel to Charleston Harbor. Because the systems are site specific, questions have arisen in the field as to where and under what economic conditions these systems might be suitable for other dredging projects. While each dredging project ultimately must be assessed on an individual basis, some general criteria can be use to eliminate projects for which the systems are ill suited or unnecessary. The criteria discussed herein are minimal in the sense that meeting all of them indicates only that a project is a good candidate, not necessarily that a system is feasible or required.
