A nontechnical summary of the Waterways Experiment Station's (WES) efforts in a model feasibility investigation of a proposed jetport located in Lake Erie offshore Cleveland, Ohio, is presented in this report. This report is intended to present the basic concepts, procedures and results of the WES model feasibility study without technical details. The following items are some of those presented in a format suitable for the nonscientist: (a) scope and objectives of WES study; (b) factors involved in hydrodynamic modeling; (c) lake characteristics and other information required as input for the models; (d) methods for obtaining unavailable data; (e) numerical and physical model evaluation, selection and preliminary design procedures; (f) information obtained from the models; and (g) current status of WES modeling efforts. Detailed technical data and results from WES study were published by WES in a series of 12 reports. These reports are referenced throughout this report in the appropriate and related sections.

This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station's study of the feasibility of using physical hydraulic models to estimate the effects of the proposed Lake Erie International Jetport on lake hydrodynamics. This report is the second of a series to be published under the general title 'Lake Erie International Jetport Model Feasibility Investigation.' The physical models considered in the study are mass circulation, wave action, breakwater stability, and longshore littoral transport models. For circulation models, similitude requirements, scales, model verification, and advantages and limitations are considered for (1) a rotating lake model, (2) a rotating model of a section of the lake near Cleveland, and (3) a nonrotating model of a section of lake near Cleveland, all with wind-driven circulation. A fourth circulation model, similar to (3), with slope (gravity) currents is also discussed.

The wind-driven circulation for thermally stratified lake conditions in a 16-mile by 16-mile nearshore region offshore Cleveland, Ohio, is studied for existing conditions and conditions as modified by a proposed jetport island. A steady-state 12 mph west wind, which produced maximum jetport effects in a previous WES study of the steady-state wind-driven circulation for well-mixed lake conditions in the nearshore region offshore Cleveland, Ohio, was chosen as the wind field for the model study.

This report presents the scope of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station's (WES) investigation of the proposed Lake Erie International Jetport and summarizes the data obtained from the literature and private individuals. The objectives of the investigation, Part I, include a review of the literature concerning wave activity (wind waves, seiches, and tides) and mass circulation in Lake Erie, preliminary design of necessary hydraulic models, and preliminary application of analytical and/or numerical models to seiching and mass circulation.
