Figure 2. Mcxiel grid for the three-dimensional circulation model of Massachusetts and Cape 

 Cod Bays. The curvilinear orthogonal grid allows the mesh resolution to vary spatially, 

 having a minimum grid spacing of 600 m and a maximum spacing of 6000 m. The grid 

 spacing in the vicinity of the proposed outfall is about 1000 m. There are currently 10 

 vertical sigma levels in the model, evenly spaced throughout the water column.
