WARNING:
The model was developed to provide the potential user
with a tool for predicting the effects of certain specific
modifications to the coastal zone that is predominately
influenced by waves and is not characterized by complex
bathymetries or irregular structures.
The model is not intended
to apply to all situations, more sophisticated and expensive
modeling efforts may be required for some applications.
As with
all numerical models, the user should be aware of the limitations
of the model and interpret the results accordingly.
This model
is capable of yielding results even when it is incorrectly
applied or applied to situations which are clearly inappropriate.
The user should be aware that the model can be very expensive and
time consuming to apply and should therefore be used
appropriately.
AVAILABILITY:
