Description | King County, in collaboration with the Department of Ecology and UW-Tacoma, began the Quartermaster Harbor Nitrogen Management Study in 2009, with the aid of a West Coast Estuaries Initiative Grant from EPA. The need for the study was driven by observation of dissolved oxygen levels below the Washington State standard of 7 mg/L. This report describes the development of a hydrodynamic model. The target model skill, as identified in the Quality Assurance Project Plan, was to achieve an average root mean square error of +/-1 psu in salinity, +/-1 deg C in temperature, and within 10% (~ 10 cm/s) of velocity relative to field measurements. The model predicts instantaneous flushing times for the inner harbor that vary from 20 to over 100 days. |
