Hydrodynamic conditions in a tidal estuary are very complex and depend on a wide range of factors. This was also demonstrated in the previous studies for the estuary of the Onega River, which were primarily based on the analysis of field measurements. In this paper, the results of numerical modelling performed using 1D and 2DH/3D «shallow water» approaches are presented, for summer and winter hydrological conditions in the Onega River estuary. The models were built and calibrated using extensive field data, which allowed assessing the opportunities to model the temporal and spatial variability of water levels, discharges, and velocities in a dynamic environment of a tidal estuary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
