List of Figures

• Model grid for the three-dimensional circulation model of Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays. The curvilinear orthogonal grid allows the mesh resolution to vary spatially, having a minimum grid spacing of 600 m and a maximum spacing of 6000 m. The grid spacing in the vicinity of the future outfall is roughly 1000 m. The 40 m isobath is represented by the thick grey line.
• Observed and modeled temperature difference (5 m - 23 m) at Station BB (see Figure 2.2). Before the correction, the model greatly underpredicted the degree of temperature stratification in the summer months. Observed data is missing from late August to November.
