Abstract
A method is presented to predict water levels in tidal estuaries using Kalman filtering techniques. The method is illustrated by predicting the water levels in the Eastern Scheldt. This estuary appears to contain many of the features inherent in modeling flows in estuaries. It is seen that, although the geometry is very complicated due to numerous gullies and banks, a very simple schematization is sufficient. Furthermore, it is shown that nonlinear effects in the mouth due to the complicated geometry and the interaction between the tidal wave along the coast and the water movements in the estuary can be compensated by using stochastic dynamic methods applied to internal boundary conditions.
