"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling held in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, October 22-24, 1997"--Title page verso. Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

"This volume contains papers from the Fifth International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling held in Alexandria, Virginia, October, 1997. The conference brought together a diverse group of model researchers, users, and evaluators to exchange information on the current state of the art and practice in marine environmental modeling. The papers explore the development, application, calibration, validation, and visualization of predictions from estuarine and coastal models. The focus of the authors is on the application of models to bays, sounds, estuaries, embayments, lagoons, and coastal seas to solve engineering and environmental impact and assessment problems."--Jacket.
