DATA ASSIMILATION AND DIAGNOSTICS OF INNER SHELF DYNAMICS

Abstract

We propose to (a) provide required boundary conditions for the inner shelf nests in the DRI region near Point Sal, and (b) implement and investigate ROMS adjoint sensitivity calculations on the high resolution grid to understand sensitivities of inner shelf circulation metrics to model surface forcing and lateral boundary conditions. The results will contribute to basic understanding of what controls scales of motion on the inner shelf.
