Chapman, R S; Gerald, T K; Dortch, M S

A three-dimensional particle tracking methodology for the New York Bight has been developed. Specific features included in the particle tracking model are surface transport of floatables by the wind and three-dimensional advection and diffusion of suspended and dissolved matter. The particle tracking model is run in conjunction with the Coastal Engineering Research Center's three-dimensional hydrodynamic model CH3D. The particle tracking model can be run in concert with CH3D as a series of subroutines or can be run in a stand-alone mode utilizing processed CH3D hydrodynamics. Interactive window-based software has been developed to assist in the setup and execution of the stand-alone particle tracking model.
