NOAA/NOS/OCS/Coast Survey Development Laboratory Summary and Conclusions CBOFS 2 river volume discharges need adjusting to compensate for ground, surface water effects, etc. Effect of adjustments clearly manifested in the CBOFS2 T and S predictions Spatial (horizontal) T and S differences at surface and bottom are similar Differences in T mainly at Bay mouth, shelf and in tributaries and ± 1 o C Differences in S more clearly seen specially in tributaries and are ± 1.5 PSU T, S differences in Bay axis appear to get washed out to the Bay mouth & shelf Spatio-temporal (depth vs. time) T, S differences show that : (i) in lower Bay they are localized near the surface but otherwise distributed throughout the water column, (ii) in upper Bay the differences are more stratified with less variations and (iii) Summer-Winter differences are not dissimilar
