| Figure 15. Evaluation of accuracy of simulated (modeled) water levels (in meters) against NOAA tidal measurements at A, three coastal inlet tide stations at B, Dauphin Island, Ala., C, Pensacola Pass, Fla., and D, Panama City Inlet, Fla. Astronomical water level predictions are also shown. The model predictions include some noise in the initial spinup of the flow simulations, which disappears after a few tidal cycles. | ||
