      <title>Two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling of circulation in Great South Bay and New York Bight</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1320297</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A two-dimensional depth-averaged boundary-fitted hydrodynamic model is used to study circulation in Great South Bay and New York Bight Region. The model domain included portions of New York Bight from Cape May, New Jersey to Montauk Point at the end of Long Island Sound, New York Harbor, Great South Bay and the adjoining rivers in New York and New Jersey. The model forcing functions consisted of tidal elevations along the open boundaries and winds. Model predictions of surface elevations at Fire Island Inlet and Moriches Inlet Coast Guard Stations showed good comparison with observations, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.960. The simulated tidal currents showed good comparisons with observations with root mean square errors less than 10% and correlation coefficients exceeding 0.910. The model predicted low-frequency currents showed favorable comparison with observations, with correlation coefficients of 0.808 and 0.605, respectively for the east–west and north–south components. Observations and model simulations show that the subtidal currents with speeds of 10–20 cm/s are generated due to alongshore wind over the continental shelf.]]></description>

      <title>THREE-DIMENSIONAL HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL OF NEW YORK HARBOR REGION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/505996</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Three-dimensional simulations of estuarine circulation in the New York Harbor complex, Long Island Sound, and the New York Bight have been conducted using the Estuarine, Coastal and Ocean Model (ECOM) within the framework of a single grid system.  The model grid is curvilinear and orthogonal, with resolution from 100 m in rivers to approximately 50 km in the bight.  The model forcing functions consist of meteorological data, water level elevation and temperature and salinity fields along the open boundary, and freshwater inflows from 30 rivers, 110 wastewater treatment plants, and 268 point sources from combined sewer overflows and surface runoffs.  Because the goal of this study is to maximize, to the extent possible, the predictive skill of the modeling system, the motivation for and a detailed description of the construction of these boundary forcing functions are presented. Two 12-month periods are considered:  October 1988 to September 1989 for model calibration and October 1994 to September 1995 for model validation.  For model calibration, the results are compared with water levels at 14 stations, currents at six stations, and temperature and salinity at 35 stations.  Model validation is accomplished using data from an extensive hydrodynamic monitoring program.  Mean errors in predicted elevations and currents are less than 10% and 15%, respectively. Correlation coefficients for salinity and temperature are as high as 0.86 and 1.0, respectively.  The level of skill shown by these statistical measures suggests that the model is capable of describing the entire spectrum of time scales for the computed quantities, from the semidiurnal to the annual scales.]]></description>

      <title>PROCEEDINGS OF THE OCEAN DUMPING WORKSHOP 106-MILE SITE. HELD IN OCEAN CITY, NJ., ON MARCH 28-30, 1989</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/406026</link>
      <description><![CDATA[EPA, NOAA, and USCG convened a workshop in Ocean City, New Jersey on March 28-30, 1989 to address concerns about potential effects on fisheries and human health risks resulting from disposal of sewage sludge at the 106-Mile Site, and to assist in the process of identifying critical monitoring, research, and surveillance needs relative to the 106-Mile Site. The goals of the workshop were (1) to assess what is known about the transport and fate of the sludge; (2) to assess potential impacts on living marine resources and on human health from disposal of sewage sludge at the 106-Mile Site; and (3) to develop recommendations for future research, monitoring, and surveillance activities at the 106-Mile Site and in surrounding areas potentially impacted by sludge disposal at the site. Workshop participants included representatives of Federal agencies and state governments, the scientific and technical community, citizen groups, congressional staffs, and sewerage authorities.]]></description>

      <title>MONITORING, RESEARCH, AND SURVEILLANCE PLAN FOR THE 106-MILE DEEPWATER MUNICIPAL SLUDGE DUMP SITE AND ENVIRONS; FINAL REPT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/406027</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 1988, Congress passed the Ocean Dumping Ban Act of 1988 (ODBA) to end the practice of ocean dumping of sewage sludge and industrial waste by December 31, 1991. OBDA also required that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG), design a monitoring program for the 106-Mile Site and the environs that may be impacted by the dumping of sewage sludge. In addition to requiring increased monitoring of the area, the joint Monitoring Plan required by ODBA was to include (1) sampling of an appropriate number of fish and shellfish species and other organisms to assess the effects of environmental conditions on living marine organisms in the areas of interest and (2) use of satellite and other advanced technologies in conducting the program.]]></description>
