Real Time Predictions of the Convective Activity in the Labrador Sea
Abstract
This effort contributes to a better understanding of the deep convective process in the ocean. In particular we are interested to evaluate the skills of a prediction system based on real time data in combination with ocean models to forecast the deep convective activity in a given region from a few weeks up to a few month in advance. (1) Apply and evaluate and improve, in real time, a minimum prediction system to forecast the convective activity several weeks in advance; and (2) Assess the relative importance of one-dimensional mixing physics versus lateral effects due to mesoscale eddies or other variable flows.
