Sediment Plume Transport Forecasts for 05 Mar 1600Z to 06 Mar 0400Z 2018 and 06 Mar 1600Z to 07 Mar 0400Z 2018, Issued 05 Mar 2018

The following figures show the initial (blue) and final (brown) forecast positions of sediment plumes. The plumes are released at a depth of 80m or 140m, at three potential locations and at different times during day time in California. These flow map computations are for a time duration of 3 or 12 hours (rows) for the forecasts of 05 March 2018 to 06 March 2018 and 06 March 2018 to 07 March 2018. The release time (columns) shifts in 1 hour intervals. The flow maps were calculated by a PDE based approach, using 5th order spatial and 3rd order temporal schemes, and a novel composition based approach.

As a reminder, 12:00Z = 04:00 PST, i.e., California local time is 8 hours behind Zulu time.
