With the improved understanding of coastal processes and the availability of very high speed computers and efficient computation techniques, it is now economically feasible to use numerical modeling systems to study the impact of large-scale engineering works on coastal processes. Such systems have the advantage that, unlike physical hydraulic and movable-bed models, once the systems are built and tested, they can be applied to different prototype sites with much less additional effort and cost. Also, they can be used to examine several different problems such as the effects of coastal structures, disposal of dredged material, modification of navigation channels, and estimating maintenance dredging requirements. In this paper, the development of one such modeling system at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC), is described. The system, known as the Coastal and Inlet Processes (CIP) Modeling System, was developed in response to the long-term needs of the Corps of engineers.

The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local and regional economies and dramatically affect ecological balance. Real-time observations are essential for effective short-term operational forecasting, but observation and modelling systems are still being developed. This volume provides guidance for developing real-time and near real-time sensing systems for observing and predicting plankton dynamics, including harmful algal blooms, in coastal waters. The underlying theory is explained and current trends in research and monitoring are discussed.Topics covered include: coastal ecosystems and dynamics of harmful algal blooms; theory and practical applications of in situ and remotely sensed optical detection of microalgal distributions and composition; theory and practical applications of in situ biological and chemical sensors for targeted species and toxin detection; integrated observing systems and platforms for detection; diagnostic and predictive modelling of ecosystems and harmful algal blooms, including data assimilation techniques; observational needs for the public and government; and future directions for research and operations.
