Tidal Amplification - Chesapeake versus Delaware
In the Delaware Estuary, the tidal range at the mouth of the estuary becomes amplified, resulting in a larger range (difference between high and low tide water surface elevation) further up the estuary. One way to visualize this effect is via violin plots.
Automated Animated Choropleth
Here's an animated choropleth (graph using colored map shapes) of HUC8 watersheds in the Delaware River Basin showing water yield over a span of 20 days.
1Automated Animated Tide Data
I developed an R script to retrieve NOAA PORTS data for the Delaware Estuary overnight and generate an animated water surface elevation plot. I hope to include this in a larger Delaware River Dashboard web page containing graphs of near real-time data.
