Beach Closure Modeling Approach • GLCFS Boundary Conditions • Currents and temperatures • Waves • Meteorology • Schwab • Hydrology (Tributary Flow) • USGS Streamflow • GLERL Models • Croley, Phanikumar • Pathogen Loading • Tributaries • Shoreline NPS • Reuspension • Haack, Whitman, Phanikumar, McLellan • Nearshore Hydrodynamics and Waves • POMGL • NearCOM? • Beletsky, Schwab, Bravo, Wu • Near Field Mixing • Needs loadings and ambient conditions • Roberts, Frick • Bacterial Transport and Fate • Same grid as hydrodynamics? • Needs pathogen loading, near field mixing & hydrodynamics • Lagrangian/ Eulerian? • Phanikumar, Roberts, Frick, Whitman • Beach Closure Model • Probabilistic? • GUI/Communications • Frick, Whitman
GLERL/CILER 2006 Progress • Implemented and tested nested grid hydrodynamic model for Burns Ditch • Began development of nested grid hydrodynamic models for Milwaukee and Grand Haven • Conducted major field experiment at Grand Haven, Michigan
Lake Michigan Model Grids Lakewide grid (POM model) Coupled models nested grids + Burns Ditch nested model grid
Burns Ditch 100m computational grid 24 km 6 km
2005 Burns Ditch current meter deployment RDI ADCP SonTek ADP
Burns Ditch nested grid model 2005 hindcast (JD 121-340) - Developed open boundary version of pomgl - Extracted b.c.’s from 2 km L. Michigan whole-lake simulation (surface meteorology, currents, water levels, temperatures) Burns Ditch flow data obtained from USGS gage 2-d (u,v substitution) 3-d barotropic (inflow: substitution, outflow: radiation) 3-d baroclinic (inflow: substitution, outflow:radiation, u,v,T) Validation with adcp data
Burns Ditch nested grid model Surface water temperature
Longshore currents (18 June - 7 August, 2005) Nested grid model (3-d) RDI ADCP
Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System - Operational Nowcast 20 day sample using vertically averaged currents
Grand Haven bathymetric grid Grand Haven SHOALS data
GLERL/CILER 2007 Plans • Operate Burns Ditch real-time nearshore circulation model • Continue Burns Ditch 2005 validation • Develop Grand Haven nested grid model • Incorporate bacterial dynamics model into nested grid model
