Development and Testing of Embedded Gridding within the Regional Ocean Modeling System: Interactions Between Near-Shore and Off Shore Currents and Materials

Abstract

The goals of this project are (1) to improve the algorithms for computational modeling of local oceanic regions that have significant interactions with their surrounding regions and (2) to simulate and understand the controlling processes for dynamical coupling and material exchanges between near-shore regions over continental shelves and adjacent off shore regions over continental slopes and in deep water.
