This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes tools that have been adapted to assist with Regional Sediment Management (RSM) activities at the U.S. Army Engineer Districts, Mobile and New York. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) designed for RSM in the Mobile District, and numerical models that have been adapted for regional studies within the New York District are discussed. Rosati et al. (2001) contains background information on RSM goals ...
This paper describes the wave measurement and numerical modeling components of a regional monitoring and modeling system established for the south shore of Long Island, New York. The monitoring portion was begun in April 1998 and has produced a wealth of data on waves, currents, water level, and soundings at inlets. A directional spectral wave model incorporating nested grids with fine resolution at inlets provides an efficient and accurate means ...
Regional Sediment Management (RSM) refers to the effective utilization of littoral, estuarine, and riverine sediment resources in an environmentally effective and economical manner. RSM strives to maintain or enhance the natural exchange of sediment within the boundaries of the physical system. A region may include a variety of geologic features, uplands, beaches, inlets, rivers, estuaries, and bays. Implementation of RSM recognizes that the physical system and embedded ecosystems are modified ...
