Shallow Water Dynamics in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman

Abstract

Development of a three-dimensional, high resolution nowcast/forecast system for the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman which encompasses a range of spatial (10 km to 100 m) and temporal scales (hours to months) using the most advanced finite element coastal hydrodynamic models. The modeled dynamics include tidal and wind-driven flow, stratification due to temperature and salinity, river influx, and turbulent mixing processes.
