Describes a preliminary two-dimensional model of copper in San Francisco Bay. The model was modified from an existing link-node model to address both total and dissolved copper as well as suspended sediments. The numeric model of the entire San Francisco Bay was the first such model to address copper. Simulations of the behavior of copper in the Bay suggest that reducing copper discharges would reduce copper levels in the Bay, but that the Bay's response time would be very long (many years). The model simulations also suggest that reducing winter discharges (such as storm water runoff) would reduce both summer and winter copper concentrations in the Bay. |
