Flow Through the Straits of the Philippine Archipelago Simulated by Global HYCOM and EAS NCOM

Abstract

We plan to collaborate with other DRI participants to better evaluate and understand the dynamics seen in observations and model results within the Philippine Archipelago, a strategic region with numerous straits. Objectives for our DRI participation are (1) high resolution simulations (with and without tides; with and without data assimilation) which provide a larger scale context for the observations, (2) model data comparisons with the measurements, (3) studies of observational representativeness in measuring transports through straits, (4) investigation of non-tidal and tidal (barotropic and internal) influences on specific sub-regions of interest, especially where measurements are available, and (5) provide boundary conditions for nested models.
