connected multiple-bay-inlet system that can represent the Great South Bay-Moriches Bay
system on Long Island, New York. We show that the hydraulic model captures the essential
physics of the system, despite its apparent simplicity in mathematical expressions. The
model gives good estimates of bay tidal transmissions, including the tidal ranges, phase
lags, and the flood-ebb asymmetry behavior in Moriches Bay. The hydraulic modeling …
