The map below showns observational stations used for validating the model’s results, as well as the horizontal grid.
The horizontal grid for SCHISM in simulating Biscayne Bay in South Florida, using flexible resolution resolving levees and canals (1-2 m), watershed rural and urban areas (30m-50m) and coastal ocean (500m-5km).
