  • User's Guide for GNOME Location File Narragansett
    Narragansett Bay User’s Guide Welcome to the Location File for Narragansett Bay! This bay reaches two-thirds of the way into the state of Rhode Island in the northeastern U.S. Narragansett Bay is a designated estuary of national significance and a habitat for hundreds of species, including winter flounder, lobster, hard shell clams, eel grass, and seals, throughout their life cycles. (Save the Bay®: People for Narragansett Bay, http://www.savebay.org/about_bay.htm). N Taunton Providence River River Warren- Barrington River Mt. Hope Bay Potowomut River West Sakonnet Passage River East Passage Dutch Is. Newport Narragansett Bay NOAA has created Location Files for different U.S. coastal regions to help you use the General NOAA Oil Modeling Environment, GNOME. In addition, on a case-by-case basis, NOAA develops international Location Files when working with specific partners. Each Location File contains information about local oceanographic conditions that GNOME uses to model oil spills in the area covered by that Location File. Each Location File also contains references (both 1 Narragansett Bay print publications and Internet sites) to help you learn more about the location you are simulating. As you work with the Location File for Narragansett Bay, GNOME will prompt you to: 1. Choose the model settings (start date and time, and run duration). 2. Input the wind conditions. GNOME will guide you through choosing the model settings and entering the wind conditions. Click the Help button anytime you need help setting up the model. Check the “Finding Wind Data” Help topic to see a list of web sites that publish wind data for this region.
