Technical Note DOER-N2

April 1998

DAN-NY functions at two levels. It has quick access to maps and summary information for use by

upper level management or in-depth (extended analysis) capabilities for the technical user. Quick

access features (available by selecting one or two options from the opening menu) allow the user

to view and print any bathymetric surveys in the database along with the more recent barge

placement locations. In the extended capabilities mode, the user has access to an array of tools that

will apply to many day-to-day activities as well as longer term planning and design related studies.

Figure 1 shows the range of tasks that can be done in DAN-NY. In addition to the more obvious

abilities to display bathymetric survey data in a wide range of options, DAN-NY can accomplish

the following:

Compute site capacity.

Predict mound geometry using the Multiple Dump FATE of dredged material (MDFATE)

model developed as part of the Dredging Research Program (DRP) (Moritz and Randall

1995).

Display the mound created and compute volumes.

Associate mounds with buoy locations.
