- Primary Objective
- Develop understanding of estuarine dynamics and create a 3D hydrodynamic model for the Port of Saint John.
- Key Findings/Monitoring Red Flags
- Model represents a good represenation of the water movement and circulation patterns within the main harbour channel/reversing falls, with the predominant discrepency in the deviation of the halocline/pycnocline
