Sediment Transport Modeling in the New York Bight

Abstract

The long-term goal of the Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Modeling and Observation Program (COMOP) is the construction of a real-time multi-platform adaptive sampling network and an integrated data-assimilative coupled modeling system for the New York Bight (NYB). This ONR grant focuses on the development of a coupled shelf circulation/bottom bound- ary layer model to study storm-driven coastal sediment transport. Specific issues to be investigated include the relative roles of waves, currents, tides and realistic topography.
