T/CAS 346-2019 Nearshore Marine Environmental Numerical Forecast Model
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard provides numerical models for waves, currents, and tides; single-point tidal and current numerical models; numerical models for suspended sediment drift and dispersion; and numerical models for oil spill drift and dispersion. It also specifies the accuracy requirements for these numerical models. This standard is applicable to numerical forecasting of nearshore marine environments, as well as other forms of marine environmental forecasting and evaluation. It can also be used as a reference for emergency response to marine environmental incidents or for long-distance marine environmental forecasting.
