Figure 5-14i. Mattituck Inlet natural state, near maximum offshore spring flood-
tide and inlet spring ebb-tide velocity, 0030 on 8 October 2002
Figure 5-15 displays locations offshore and within the inlet where water level
and current velocity calculation results were extracted to examine the differences
in hydrodynamic behavior between the offshore area and Mattituck Inlet in its
natural state. Location C is near the present-day flood shoal, and Location D is
near the site of the 19 September - 8 October 2002 water level and current meter
data collection. Figures 5-16a through 5-16c illustrate differences in water-
surface elevations at these locations, and Figures 5-17a through 5-17c compare
current velocities.
