Abstract
- The essentials of hydrodynamic model application techniques and necessary supporting data are given for the situation of a partially stratified water body. The presentation is aimed at improving numerical predictions of tidal hydrodynamics, and is oriented toward somewhat experienced modelers. So as to guide the modeler, the subjects covered are arranged in the order in which they ideally would be addressed during the execution of a study. These subjects fall broadly under the headings hydrodynamic classification, model selection, model adaptation, model testing and calibration, and model verification and application. Meaningful and quantitative measures are needed to establish model performance, and to provide a basis for model intercomparisons and possible future setting of standards. Various quantitative measures are suggested. To encourage their use, it is recommended that providing a quantitative measure when comparing model data with observed data be a condition for publication. A number of research needs are also identified.
