Includes bibliographical references (pages 25-29). "In this report the model evaluation for the hydrodynamic model of the port of Kitimat and the approaches to the port is presented. A hindcast was completed for the years 2016 – 2022 and evaluated against a comprehensive set of observations of water levels, currents, and water properties. This evaluation shows that the port ocean prediction system significantly improves representation of water levels and currents over its parent model, CIOPS-W. Water level predictions are improved by as much as 30% in terms of centered root-mean-square error, predominantly in the tidal domain. The model remained stable during major storms but did not yield significant improvements in the prediction of water levels associated with these storms. Strong non-tidal current events in response to outflow winds were well captured in the model"--Abstract, page xii. Hydrodynamic weather forecasting British Columbia.
