Abstract
Description
A modeling framework was constructed for the Chesapeake Bay system to provide a
credible basis to assist the decision-making process and to further the understanding of Bay water
quality processes and the sensitivity of such processes to external nutrient loading. The modeling
structure consists of a Watershed Model to generate nutrient loads from the Bay sub-basins; a
three-dimensional, time variable hydrodynamic model; and a three-dimensional, time variable
model of water quality coupled to a model of sediment chemistry.
