Numerical model of the salt-wedge reach of the Duwamish River estuary, King County, Washington
Edmund A. Prych, W.L. Haushild, J.D. Stoner
1975, Open-File Report 75-13
A numerical model of a salt-wedge estuary developed by Fischer has been expanded and used to calculate the distributions of salinity, temperature, chlorophyll a concentrations, biochemical oxygen demand, and dissolved-oxygen concentrations in the Duwamish River estuary, King County, Wash. With this model, which was calibrated and verified with observed data,...
