Coupled Thermocline - Deep Ocean Processes in Baroclinic Fronts and Eddies: Towards Improving Model Initialization and Data Assimilation

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to achieve a correct understanding of the physical processes at the continental margin interface, including feedbacks between the coastal and open ocean, and to investigate the ability of numerical models to simulate physical processes over continental slope regions.
