In this earlier post, I analyzed tidal water surface elevation data from the NOAA PORTS system from both the Delaware Estuary and the Chesapeake Bay, showing how the two systems react very differently to the tidal forcing at their Atlantic Ocean boundaries. Animated plots may be even more effective at demonstrating this difference in response. In the Delaware, the tidal fluctuation is amplified as it is translated upstream, but in the Chesapeake it is dampened.Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
