Observations and Modeling for Source Characterization

Abstract

As part of this effort, REMUS UUVs from Cal Poly and SIO jointly collected CT profiles around the model boundary, and in and around the Tijuana River plume before, during and after storm events. Data were collected in February and March of 2008 and 2009 for a total of 15 missions. These observations were then used by the model for initiation and validation. The DELFT-3D FLOW model is now operational and can be run to evaluate the impact of river flow in the coastal area of interest. Results have quantified sensitivity of the plume trajectory to wind and heating.
