- Development of a Hydrodynamic Model of Puget Sound and Northwest Straits
- - Zhaoqing Yang, Tarang Khangaonkar
- Accurate simulation of hydrodynamics in Puget Sound including coastal circulation and transport in the nearshore areas has become an essential requirement for many projects in connection with coastal restoration and improvements to tidal marshland habitat and salmon migration. The Marine Sciences Laboratory of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed three-dimensional hydrodynamic models for several estuaries and coastal basins in Puget Sound to support restoration projects, and has
