ANALYSIS, MODELING, AND SIMULATION OF THE TIDES IN THE LOXAHATCHEE RIVER ESTUARY (SOUTHEASTERN FLORIDA).
Recent cooperative efforts between the University of Central Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the South Florida Water Management District explore the development of a two-dimensional, depth-integrated tidal model for the Loxahatchee River estuary (Southeastern Florida...
