Dapeng Bay is located in the southwest coast of Taiwan. It is a cystic shaped shallow lagoon, which has only one entry for exchanging lagoon water with the coastal current. The water quality is depending on the refreshing rate and the mixing level in the lagoon. In order to understand the circulation pattern monthly measurements using an ADP are carried out. Three water quality monitoring stations are constructed for regular online observation of the water quality in the lagoon.
The flows are on the west-northwest direction during the flood and toward the west during ebb. Strong currents are observed in the tidal inlet channel. The general circulation patterns are mainly dominated by tide though wind effects can observed from the measurements.
This study established a three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling system using the FVCOM model developed at the U.S. Marine Ecosystem Dynamics Modeling Laboratory for the simulation of Dapeng Bay currents. The study includes the comparison of the recent circulation and the flow fields after broaden of the inlet navigation channel. This will change not only the shape but also dredge the channel deeper. These variations may differ the circulation patterns and the exchange quantities as well. The model results are first compared with the observations for the present situation as calibration. The simulation results for the studies of the changing of the inlet channel will be discussed.
