The model is based on DHI (Danish Hydraulic Institute's) MIKE 3 HD (FM) modeling software. The model was subjected to extensive calibration making use of recorded water levels, currents, water temperature and salinity. A high level of accuracy in calibration was achieved as indicated by the computed statistical error parameters at all recording stations. The model results combined with field recording of water levels were used to ascertain tidal wave propagation pattern in the Dubai coastal zone and in and out of the Dubai creek. This model will be a very useful tool in assessing impacts of planned connection of artificial waterways to the Dubai Creek.展开更多
