projects > effect of wind on surface water flows
Summary
|
|
This project will study the effect of wind on water movement in the
Everglades wetlands and bordering subtidal embayments.
|
The objective of this project is to provide key information regarding the
effect of wind on surface water flow to those attempting to model that type of
flow in South Florida. This information will improve the representation of the
physical processes involved in moving the water in and through the
Everglades. In addition, it will improve the design and implementation of data
collection efforts necessary to provide boundary conditions used to drive the
flow models. The overall strategy of this study involves three components: (1)
a series of experiments using an enclosed wind cowling constructed on top of
the indoor flume at Stennis Space Center to study vegetative effects, (2)
collection of a number of contemporaneous time-series measurements of wind speed
and direction from instruments already deployed at various locations within the
Everglades and bordering embayments, (3) combination of results from these
two efforts to provide improved wind forcing and boundary conditions for
surface water models.
