Below is a movie of a MX dye release similar to the other rleases that Nirnimesh has put together. The dye release location here is at the very southern part of Playas Tijuana, where we will be doing our dye release. Again, Nirnimesh is simulating the week from 9/30-10/7 2014 for moderate waves from 200 deg south, similar to … Read More
CSIDE US/MX border dye release simulation
Nirnimesh has completed another round of dye release simulations to help us prepare for the upcoming dye releases. For this release Nirnimesh is simulating the week from 9/30-10/7 2014 for moderate waves from 200 deg south. The movie lasts for a week. The first dye release lasts 2 hours and the 2nd release lasts 6 hrs. In this case … Read More
New pre-experiment CSIDE dye release simulations: comparing 2hr and 6 hr releases
In the previous post we presented the first dye simulation that Nirnimesh has done. That simulation was for a release that totalled 2 hrs. Now, Nirnimesh has performed an identical experiment for dye released for 6 hrs and compared the two. The modeling details are the same: This is with the COAWST model that couples waves and currents and has … Read More
First pass at a dye release simulation in the CSIDE study region
Nirnimesh has performed the first dye release simulation in the CSIDE study region. This is with the COAWST model that couples waves and currents and has a 20 m grid resolution. This simulation is for a period of time in Fall 2014 with northward winds. Nirnimesh also sent in waves with significant wave height of 1 m, peak period Tp=14 … Read More
Wave modeling for the San Diego South Bay Region
As part of the CSIDE modeling efforts,we are interested in performing some numerical dye releases for the CSIDE experimental region, the San Digo South Bay. In an earlier post, the 50 m grid size ocean circulation (ROMS) model solution developed by Nirnimesh Kumar was highlighted. That simulation did not have waves, and Nirnimesh is working on putting waves into the … Read More
Simulation of the San Diego South Bay Region: July-Nov 2014
Nirnimesh Kumar, our intrepid COAWST (coupled ROMS/SWAN) modeling expert has been grinding away developing a numerical model for our study region: The San Diego South Bay. His latest creation is really spectacular These simulations show evolution of sea surface temperature and depth-averaged velocities from July 1, 2014 to December 1, 2014 in Southern California including Imperial Beach. The grid resolution … Read More
