An Overview of Nested Regions Using HYCOM

Abstract

Outline. Motivation. Open boundary nesting techniques. Different nested regions. Need generic and accurate horizontal and vertical interpolation. Need to cover wide range of flow regimes. East Asian Seas region shallow isopycnals. Japan/East Sea Intrathermocline Eddies. Gulf of California sensitivity to BC params. Gulf of Mexico cross-shelf exchange. California Current System HYCOM-NCOM coupling. Norwegian Coastal Current buoyancy driven current. Persian Gulf contaminant dispersion.
