Description & model representation of an artificial island & effects on transport and ecology
Gives a brief overview of the various island variants and model scenarios that have been simulated in the different model set-ups. Describes the general model set-ups for the tracer and salinity model, the sediment model and the transport and ecology model. Discusses the results from the OBL-Frac model simulations in terms of the current situation, the autonomous situation and the island variants. The methodology that is used is discussed in terms of its uncertainties and a short comparison is made to results from previous studies. Finally conclusions derived from the modelling results and recommendations for phase 2 of this project are given.
