Title:

C: 157 - Identify areas with suitable salinity levels and current conditions for eelgrass growth

Description:

Acquire salinity and water predictions based on an existing 3-D hydrodynamic model developed by the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology (OGI). These predictions will be summarized based on eelgrass growing season and imported into a format compatible with ESRI's ArcGIS.

To help assess suitable salinity, water levels and current conditions in the lower Columbia River estuary, we will analyze results from a multi-year 3D simulation database generated as part of OGI’s CORIE project. We will subcontract to OGI to conduct the analysis using the best quality-controlled database available at the time the work begins; currently they have a 7-year database from 1999 to 2005. Results of their analysis will be presented as spatial data, suitable for import into a GIS. The analysis will present an assessment of model uncertainty

WE Agreement Type:
