| Figure 19. Maximum alongshore velocity (table 2, metric 2) smoothed over a 2-kilometer length scale for scenarios A, H3_D6 and B, H3_D8 (fig. 2) in the northern Gulf of Mexico alongshore Alabama and Florida. Green and red arrows indicate eastward- and westward-directed flows, respectively. Flow is to the west throughout the domain in A, whereas there are mixed flow directions in B. | ||
