| Hydrodynamic Climate/Extremal Analysis of Santa Rosa Island,
FL |
| This project provided hydrodynamic climate for use in selecting
design conditions for a planned Underwater Marine Sanctuary as part
of the Navarre Beach State Park. The hydrodynamic parameters are
water levels, wind waves, winds, water currents, and depth of
closure. Each parameter was treated separately for normal
conditions, that can be expected to occur during any year, and
extremal conditions associated with tropical storms and hurricanes.
Statistics were compiled from observed data at appropriate
measurement sites and numerical models operated by federal and state
agencies. Predictions from two or more models were compared,
validated with data when possible, and weighted to provide the best
solution for this particular site. Client: FL Department of Environmental Protection/Genesis Group Reports: "Hydrodynamic Climate for Navarre Beach State Park" |
