Notes:
As far as looking at circulation patterns, what we have here is the no-project alternative and the Alternative BX-6 here. Just to give you a little bit of feel, this here is about 5 kilometers, this here is about 2 kilometers, the arrows that you see up there, the size and darkness, indicates speed. I only cut out a small piece of the model. We actually did model the whole Bay from the North Bay all the way down to the South Bay, but that would be very difficult to see, so I have just cut out a piece of it here.
Things I like to point out is, essentially we see that these darker areas here in the middle of the Bay are the channel, the life line of the Bay which pumps water back and forth with the tides. Over here near the existing runway, we see some circulation patterns and a little bit of change here, and over here we see that, in fact, we see some bending of the currents here and here, which is the change in the similar circulation patterns.
