Tides and tidal currents were reproduced by a primary tide gener- ator located in the Gulf of Mexico part of the model and a secondary tide generator located at the model limit of the channels which connect Mata- gorda Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay to the west. This secondary generator reproduced the discharge exchange between the two bays which results from tidal action in each of the bays. (8) Test Procedures. The model was operated with both saltwater and freshwater so that density effects on current velocity distribution in the deep channels would be reproduced, and the effects of the deep-draft project on the salinity regimen of the bay system could be determined. (9) Summary of Test Results. The alinement of the new entrance channel, as developed during the model study, is shown in Figure 3-58. 44.
