Abstract

The Columbia Hybrid Modeling System was applied to navigation channel shoaling problems at the mouth of the Columbia River estuary. The models were verified to satisfactorily reproduce observed prototype behavior. The adjustment process created a typical year from a statistical analysis of river runoff and waves combined with a typical tide.
