Surface Area of Bay given Tidal Prism Filling Bay Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Area of Bay = Tidal Prism Filling Bay/(2*Bay Tide Amplitude)
A_b = P/(2*a_B)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Surface Area of Bay - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area of Bay is defined as a small body of water set off from the main body.
Tidal Prism Filling Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Tidal Prism Filling Bay is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.
Bay Tide Amplitude - Bay Tide Amplitude is the average difference between water levels at high and low tide.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tidal Prism Filling Bay: 32 Cubic Meter --> 32 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Bay Tide Amplitude: 3.7 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_b = P/(2*a_B) --> 32/(2*3.7)

Evaluating ... ...

What are Seiches?

Seiches are standing waves or oscillations of the free surface of a body of water in a closed or semi-closed basin. These oscillations are of relatively long periods, extending from minutes in harbours and bays to over 10 hr in the Great Lakes. Any external perturbation to the lake or embayment can force an oscillation. In harbours, the forcing can be the result of short waves and wave groups at the harbour entrance. Examples include 30- to 400-sec wave-forced oscillations in the Los Angeles-Long Beach harbour (Seabergh 1985).

What is Inlet flow Pattern & Tidal Prism?

An Inlet has a "gorge" where flows converge before they expand again on the opposite side. Shoal (shallow) areas that extend backward and oceanward from the gorge depend on inlet hydraulics, wave conditions, and general geomorphology. All these interact to determine flow patterns in and around the inlet and locations where flow channels occur.
A Tidal Prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin.
