Local validation. ADCIRC calculations of water level were compared to
measurements made at Mattituck Inlet and Mattituck Creek from 19 September
to 8 October 2002 (Figures 5-6a through 5-6d). The locations of the tide gauges
for this survey are given in Figure 3-23. Both amplitude and phase of the
measurements are reproduced. The tidal signal maintains amplitude or increases
in amplitude at the creek station because of the constricted flow there.
