Abstract: The research described in this paper is aimed at developing and testing a twolayer hydrodyn amic and salinity model by assum ing each layer is h omogeneous and vertically integrating the governing equat ions over the layer thickness. This model can simulate hydrodynamic and salinity distributions with arbitrary depth in an estuarine environment. The horizontal density gradient terms, have been added to a two-layer hydrodynamic and salinity model. The model is applied to Weeks Bay, Alabama, both with and without the horizontal density gradient terms and a comparison of results presented.
