We propose in this paper an adaptive algorithm where inward and outward information fluxes are treated separately. Because of the essentially hyperbolic nature of the incompressible, hydrostatic Primitive Equations, external data are required only for inward boundary fluxes. The outward fluxes are treated with a new algorithm for two-dimensional radiation. Special attention is given to the estimation of the radiation phase speed, essential for detecting the direction of boundary fluxes. The boundary conditions are applied and assessed on a US West Coast (USWC) configuration of the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS). Our guiding principles are that the numerical solution be stable over multiple years, reach a meaningful statistical equilibrium, and be realistic with respect to the available observational data. A sensitivity analysis suggests that the oblique radiation is robust and sufficiently accurate to detect the direction of information fluxes. The adaptive nudging adequately incorporates the external information minimizing over- and under-specification problems. In addition, a volume constraint based on global correction of normal barotropic velocities improves the overall performances of the open boundary conditions.?C 1Luettich, R. A. Westerink, J. J.

The tangent linear and adjoint versions of ROMS have recently been developed, and a new suite of tools that utilize these models for a variety of applications are now available to the ocean modelling community. In this paper we will describe the tangent linear and adjoint components of ROMS, and present examples from the tools that are currently available to ROMS users In particular we will consider the nite time eigenmodes and the adjoint nite time eigenmodes of the tangent linear propagator, the singular vectors of the propagator, and its forcing singular vectors and stochastic optimals. The pseudospectra of the tangent linear resolvent matrix are also considered. Examples of each type of calculation will be presented for a time evolving double gyre ocean circulation in a rectangular ocean basin.IDraft downloaded from http://marine.rutgers.edu/po/Papers/lat_roms_om.pdf?BPeliz, Álvaro Rosa, Teresa L. Santos, Miguel P. Pissarra, Joaquim2002GFronts, jets, and counter-flows in the Western Iberian upwelling system61-77Journal of Marine Systems351-2 Western Iberian Upwelling SystemhThe results of a fine resolution hydrology survey conducted off the northern Portuguese coast at the end of the upwelling season are presented. The most striking features were the upwelling front and the associated southward jet. Counter-flows were detected both over the slope and at the inner-shelf. The southward current is surface intensified with maximum values of about 40 cm s-1 and diverges to the south of the observed area recirculating both onshore and offshore. Along the slope, a warmer and saltier poleward current interacts with the jet generating an anticyclonic eddy about the Aveiro Canyon. Possible mechanisms of topographic forcing and filament development in the zone are discussed. Inshore, a coastal current advects warmer water northward creating a second front at the inner-shelf. The surface layers to the coastal side of the upwelling front are dominated by a low salinity lens, which we proposed to name the Western Iberia Buoyant Plume (WIBP). The equatorward flow, the coastal current and the stratification input of the WIBP introduce strong complexity into the dynamics of this double-frontal upwelling system. The plume is stirred being partially advected to the south and offshore while entrained in the upwelling jet. On the shore side, the plume is advected to the north by the coastal counter-flow. A conceptual model of circulation is presented.hActually not all that interesting to me, but I'm interested in some later work by Alvaro Peliz with ROMS?$.Shchepetkin, Alexander F.

When the isosurfaces of the vertical coordinate are not aligned with either geopotential surfaces or isopycnals, the horizontal pressure gradient consists of two large terms that tend to cancel; the associated pressuregradient error stems from interference of the discretization errors of these terms. The situation is further complicated by the nonorthogonality of the coordinate system and by the common practice of using highly nonuniform stretching for the vertical grids, which, unless special precautions are taken, causes both a loss of discretization accuracy overall and an increase in interference of the component errors. In the present study, we design a pressure-gradient algorithm that achieves more accurate hydrostatic balance between the two components and does not lose as much accuracy with nonuniform vertical grids at relatively coarse resolution. This algorithm is based on the reconstruction of the density field and the physical z coordinate as continuous functions of transformed coordinates with subsequent analytical integration to compute the pressure-gradient force. This approach allows not only a formally higher order of accuracy, but it also retains and expands several important symmetries of the original second-order scheme to high orders [Mellor et al., 1994; Song, 1998], which is used as a prototype. It also has built-in monotonicity constraining algorithm that prevents appearance of spurious oscillations of polynomial interpolant and, consequently, insures numerical stability and robustness of the model under the conditions of nonsmooth density field and coarse grid resolution. We further incorporate an alternative method of dealing with compressibility of seawater, which escapes pressure-gradient errors associated with interference of the nonlinear nature of equation of state and difficulties to achieve accurate polynomial fits of resultant in situ density profiles. In doing so, we generalized the monotonicity constraint to guarantee nonnegative physical stratification of the reconstructed density profile in the case of compressible equation of state. To verify the new method, we perform traditional idealized (Seamount) and realistic test problems.?'Penven, Pierrick2000^A numerical study of the Southern Benguela circulation with an application to fish recruitmentBrest#Université de Bretagne Occidentale5http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/~penven/publications/these/ ?(8Peliz, Álvaro Dubert, J.

While both models aim at modeling coastal to basin-scale problems using similar grids, their numerical algorithms, code structure, and parameterization options are very different. Sensitivity studies with an idealized channel flow and a steep seamount configuration demonstrate how different algorithms in the two models may affect numerical errors, the stability of the code and the computational efficiency. For example, new pressure gradient schemes using polynomial fits and new time stepping algorithms may reduce numerical errors and allow using longer time steps than standard schemes do. However, the new schemes may require more careful choices of time steps and the use of higher order advection schemes to maintain numerical stability.?/~Haidvogel, Dale B. Arango, Hernan G.

In addition to the stretched sigma coordinate, novel features of the model include the utilization of a weakly dissipative, third-order scheme for tracer advection, and a conservative and constancy-preserving time-stepping algorithm. The objectives of the study are to assess the quality of the new terrain-following model in the limit of realistic basin-scale simulations, and to compare the results obtained with it against those of other North Atlantic models used in recent multi-model comparison studies. The new model is able to reproduce many features of both the wind-driven and thermohaline circulation, and to do so within error bounds comparable with prior model simulations (e.g., CME and DYNAMO). Quantitative comparison with comparable results obtained with the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Model (MICOM) show our terrain-following solutions are of similar overall quality when viewed against known measures of merit including meridional overturning and heat flux, Florida Straits and Gulf Stream transport, seasonal cycling of temperature and salinity, and upper ocean currents and tracer fields in the eastern North Atlantic Basin. Sensitivity studies confirm that the nonlinear vertical coordinate contributes significantly to model fidelity, and that the global inventories and spatial structure of the tracer fields are affected in important ways by the choice of lateral advection scheme.?1DMarchesiello, Patrick McWilliams, James C. Shchepetkin, Alexander F.2003CEquilibrium structure and dynamics of the California Current System753-783 Journal of Physical Oceanography334@California Current System Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS)This paper addresses the structure and dynamical mechanisms of regional and mesoscale physical variability in the subtropical northeast Pacific Ocean using the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS). The model is configured with a U.S. West Coast domain that spans the California Current System (CCS) with a mesoscale horizontal resolution up to as fine as 3.5 km. Its mean-seasonal forcing is by momentum, heat, and water fluxes at the surface and adaptive nudging to gyre-scale fields at the open water boundaries. Its equilibrium solutions show realistic mean and seasonal states and vigorous mesoscale eddies, fronts, and filaments. The level of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the model is comparable to drifter and altimeter estimates in the solutions with sufficiently fine resolution. Because the model lacks nonseasonal transient forcing, the authors conclude that the dominant mesoscale variability in the CCS is intrinsic rather than transiently forced. The primary eddy generation mechanism is the baroclinic instability of upwelling, alongshore currents. There is progressive movement of mean-seasonal currents and eddy energy offshore and downward into the oceanic interior in an annually recurrent cycle. The associated offshore eddy heat fluxes provide the principal balance against nearshore cooling by mean Ekman transport and upwelling. The currents are highly nonuniform along the coast, with important influences by capes and ridges in both maintaining mean standing eddies and launching transient filaments and fronts.?4Penven, Pierrick Roy, C.

A.2001CA regional hydrodynamic model of upwelling in the Southern Benguela472-476 South African Journal of Science97@Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) Benguela Upwelling SystemThe Benguela upwelling system, off the southwest coast of southern Africa, is productive but also highly dispersive. Sardines and anchovies have adapted their reproductive strategy by spawning on the Agulhas Bank, away from the upwelling region. Transport from the spawning grounds to the nursery area is believed to be one of the main environmental processes that control recruitment. To understand the transport processes along the southwest African coast better, we set up an eddy-resolving, primitive equation model of the regional oceanic circulation. The model domain covers the shelves and oceanic plains from 40°S to 28°S and from 10° E to 24°E. To obtain statistically meaningful solutions, long simulations (more than 10 years) were conducted. The high-order accuracy of the model schemes and grid resolution allow the development of plumes, filaments and eddies, which are characteristic features of upwelling systems. While only large-scale and seasonal variations are forced, this energetic mesoscale activity induces an important variability. This intrinsic variability could limit the predictability of the transport processes and fish recruitment in the Benguela Current.?5.Shchepetkin, Alexander F. McWilliams, James C.2005zThe regional oceanic modeling system (ROMS): a split-explicit, free-surface, topography-following-coordinate oceanic model347-404Ocean Modelling94GThe purpose of this study is to find a combination of optimal numerical algorithms for time-stepping and mode-splitting suitable for a high-resolution, free-surface, terrain-following coordinate oceanic model. Due to mathematical feedback between the baroclinic momentum and tracer equations and, similarly, between the barotropic momentum and continuity equations, it is advantageous to treat both modes so that, after a time step for the momentum equation, the computed velocities participate immediately in the computation of tracers and continuity, and vice versa, rather than advancing all equations for one time step simultaneously. This leads to a new family of time-stepping algorithms that combine forward-backward feedback with the best known synchronous algorithms, allowing an increased time step due to the enhanced internal stability without sacrificing its accuracy. Based on these algorithms we design a split-explicit hydrodynamic kernel for a realistic oceanic model, which addresses multiple numerical issues associated with mode splitting. This kernel utilizes consistent temporal averaging of the barotropic mode via a specially designed filter function to guarantee both exact conservation and constancy preservation properties for tracers and yields more accurate (up to second-order), resolved barotropic processes, while preventing aliasing of unresolved barotropic signals into the slow baroclinic motions. It has a more accurate mode-splitting due to redefined barotropic pressure-gradient terms to account for the local variations in density field, while maintaining the computational efficiency of a split model. It is naturally compatible with a variety of centered and upstream-biased high-order advection algorithms, and helps to mitigate computational cost of expensive physical parameterization of mixing processes and submodels._http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6VPS-4DD8795-1/2/46fb4c064977a1deb25bcf699388bbef Was #1223?6Song, Yuhe Haidvogel, Dale B.1994bA semi-implicit ocean circulation model using a generalized topography-following coordinate system228-244 Journal of Computational Physics1151terrain-following coordinates S-Coordinate Primitive Equation Model (SPEM) S-Coordinate Rutgers University Model (SCRUM) Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS)'Includes definition of the s coordinate f?7UMalanotte-Rizzoli, Paola Hedström, Katherine S.

The OGCM is used in a fully realistic configuration of the Atlantic, from 30°S to 65°N, with realistic bathymetry. Surface forcings are provided by the COADS climatology. A non-eddy-resolving numerical simulation is analyzed with 3/4° horizontal resolution and 20 terrain-following vertical levels. The primary objective of this study is to assess the theoretical framework extending the ventilated thermocline theory to the equator in the context of the numerical calculation, and to establish whether the predictions of a steady-state theory can be verified in a time-dependent simulation, in which rectified seasonal effects on the time mean yearly circulation may be important. The Bernoulli function is evaluated on isopycnal surfaces outcropping in the subtropics in both hemispheres and floats are injected at different northern and southern latitudes. In both hemispheres, the interior flow velocities are parallel to the Bernoulli streamlines that are significantly modified by inertia only very near the equator and on the Equatorial UnderCurrent (EUC). In the Northern Atlantic, pathways from the subtropics to the tropics exist for the isopycnal surfaces outcropping at 20¯22°N. The injected floats reach the EUC following a zigzag pattern determined by the tropical current system. It is impossible to distinguish between the western boundary and the interior exchange windows as they are merged together forming a broad exchange pathway east of the northwestward flowing North Brazil Current (NBC). This exchange window disappears for the floats injected north of ~30°N, and corresponding outcropping isopycnals >25.5 kg/m3, where only the recirculating window of the subtropical gyre remains. In the Southern Atlantic, all the floats injected between 6° and 15°S migrate to the western boundary where they are entrained in the NBC. There is no interior exchange window. At the equator, some are directly entrained into the EUC, some overshoot and retroflect at ~8°N, then join the EUC. As the numerical simulation is carried out under surface forcings that include the seasonal cycle, we can assess the impact of the seasonal cycle on the steady-state analysis. The most important effect is due to the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which in summer is strong, and produces an "island" of Ekman upwelling between 10° and 20°N, which is reflected in the yearly mean properties. The ICTZ-induced upwelling and interior stratification support a corresponding "island" of high potential vorticity that penetrates in depth to all the isopycnals outcropping between 20° and 25°N. This high potential vorticity island creates a barrier that constrains the floats injected at and north of 20°N to flow around it to reach the Equator and the EUC. ?8EWarner, J. C. Sherwood, C. R. Arango, H. G. Signell, R. P. Butman, B.2005]Performance of four turbulence closure models implemented using a generic length scale method81-113Ocean Modelling8`A two-equation turbulence model (one equation for turbulence kinetic energy and a second for a generic turbulence length-scale quantity) proposed by Umlauf and Burchard [J. Marine Research 61 (2003) 235] is implemented in a three-dimensional oceanographic model (Regional Oceanographic Modeling System; ROMS v2.0). These two equations, along with several stability functions, can represent many popular turbulence closures, including the k-kl (Mellor-Yamada Level 2.5), k-[epsiv], and k-[omega] schemes. The implementation adds flexibility to the model by providing an unprecedented range of turbulence closure selections in a single 3D oceanographic model and allows comparison and evaluation of turbulence models in an otherwise identical numerical environment. This also allows evaluation of the effect of turbulence models on other processes such as suspended-sediment distribution or ecological processes. Performance of the turbulence models and sediment-transport schemes is investigated with three test cases for (1) steady barotropic flow in a rectangular channel, (2) wind-induced surface mixed-layer deepening in a stratified fluid, and (3) oscillatory stratified pressure-gradient driven flow (estuarine circulation) in a rectangular channel. Results from k-[epsiv], k-[omega], and gen (a new closure proposed by Umlauf and Burchard [J. Marine Research 61 (2003) 235]) are very similar for these cases, but the k-kl closure results depend on a wall-proximity function that must be chosen to suit the flow. Greater variations appear in simulations of suspended-sediment concentrations than in salinity simulations because the transport of suspended-sediment amplifies minor variations in the methods. The amplification is caused by the added physics of a vertical settling rate, bottom stress dependent resuspension, and diffusive transport of sediment in regions of well mixed salt and temperature. Despite the amplified sensitivity of sediment to turbulence models in the estuary test case, the four closures investigated here all generated estuarine turbidity maxima that were similar in their shape, location, and concentrations._http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6VPS-4BD5GGX-1/2/e50480de5d8207d9ed1ebdb8ce1af57d TY - JOUR:?9sWilkin, John L.

These shear edge eddies are most prevalent in the Agulhas Bank shelf bight, have a diameter of about 50-100 km and are represented by a thermal dome and a surface warm plume inshore. In an attempt to better understand their generation and behavior, we have used a high-resolution model designed for the general region. The ocean model employed is the Regional Ocean Modeling System that solves the free surface, hydrostatic, primitive equations over variable topography using stretched, terrain-following coordinates in the vertical, orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in the horizontal, and featuring high-order schemes. The model simulates the creation of cyclonic shear edge eddies and their attendant surface plumes of warm water along the edge of the Agulhas Bank with a high degree of verisimilitude. The dimensions of the model features, their hydrographic structure and their velocities bear a strong resemblance to what has been observed. The simulation suggests that shear edge eddies remain trapped in the Agulhas Bank shelf bight and that eddies that subsequently travel downstream represent leakages from the resident shear eddy. This intermittent but frequent leakage of cyclonic motion downstream propagates at roughly 8 kmday-1 at intervals of roughly 20 days, and may trigger the detachment of a cyclonic eddy at the tip of the Agulhas Bank._http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6VBJ-493P758-2/2/f6f10512bb68ac32ca7cc074e510f157 TY - JOUR?@Wilkin, J.

The circulation fields used for the drifter experiments were obtained from a regional primitive equation model that incorporates coastal geometry and bottom topography that is representative of the CTZ region. The simulated circulation fields show velocity patterns that are consistent with those associated with the filaments and jets observed in the CTZ region. Drifters were released at 880 points in the model domain in a pattern that bracketed, both horizontally and vertically, the region in which offshore-flowing filaments were observed to form. At each location, drifters were released at depths of 30, 60, 90 m and tracked for 30 days. The depth of these drifters varied along their trajectories in response to the vertical velocities experienced by the drifters. An additional set of drifters was released at 30 m and was constrained to remain at this depth. The composite drifter trajectories show that transport patterns and residence times in the upper 100 m are determined by the proximity of the drifter release point to the offshore-flowing filament.?i Cresswell, G.

Munchow, Andreas2000gMesoscale Currents on the Inner New Jersey Shelf Driven by the Interaction of Buoyancy and Wind Forcing 2214-2230 Journal of Physical Oceanography309September 1, 2000Shipboard hydrographic and acoustic Doppler current profiler surveys conducted in August 1996 on the New Jersey inner shelf revealed a buoyant intrusion advancing southward along the coast. This buoyant intrusion originated from the Hudson estuary more than 100 km upshelf and appeared as a bulge of less saline water with a sharp across-shelf frontal zone at its leading edge. During this time, the study area was also forced by a brief upwelling-favorable wind event opposing the direction of buoyant flow propagation. The interaction of buoyancy and wind forcing generated a spatially variable velocity field. In particular, across-shelf currents were comparable to their alongshelf counterparts. Variability in the alongshelf direction occurred on the scales of the order of the baroclinic Rossby radius. Intensive across-shelf currents reached speeds of 20- 40 cm s-1 and appeared as spatially localized mesoscale flows with a width of O(10 km). They were generated at the leading edge of the buoyant intrusion and persisted over the period of observations, slowly propagating southward along with the buoyant flow. They were essentially baroclinic with strong vertical shear and were further amplified by the wind forcing. The upwelling-favorable wind event also generated cyclonic circulation within the buoyant intrusion, which has not been observed before. Interaction of the opposing wind and buoyancy forcings deformed the pycnocline into a dome. This dome was effectively isolated from wind-induced turbulent mixing by overlying buoyant water. The adjustment of the velocity field to this density disturbance occurred geostrophically, even though the water depth was only 20-30 m and friction was important. Relative vorticity associated with this cyclonic flow was at least 0.3f.Bhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0485(2000)030<2214:MCOTIN>2.0.CO;2 ? Bowman, M.

Lentz, Steven J.1994@Trapping of a Coastal Density Front by the Bottom Boundary Layer 1464-1479 Journal of Physical Oceanography247 July 1, 1994The dynamics of a surface-to-bottom density front on a uniformly sloping continental shelf and the role of density advection in the bottom boundary layer are examined using a three-dimensional, primitive equation numerical model. The front is formed by prescribing a localized freshwater inflow through the coastal boundary. The resulting freshwater plume turns anticyclonically and moves along the coast, generating offshore transport in the bottom boundary layer, which advects freshwater offshore and creates a sharp surface-to-bottom density front with a surface-intensified alongshelf jet over the front. The offshore buoyancy flux in the bottom boundary layer moves the front offshore until it reaches a depth where the vertical shear within the front leads to a reversal in the cross-shelf velocity at the shoreward edge of the front. Consequently, the offshore buoyancy flux in the bottom boundary layer vanishes shoreward of the front. Within the front, a steady balance is established in the bottom boundary layer between vertical mixing and onshore advection of density. At this point, the front is "trapped" to an isobath; that is, the front remains parallel to the isobath and does not move farther offshore. The location of the trapped front is consistent with simple thermal wind dynamics. The basic frontal-trapping mechanism dominates the dynamics for a wide range of inflow velocities and densities (including very weak density anomalies), indicating that the advection of density in the bottom boundary layer may play a major role in the circulation on many continental shelves, even when the bottom boundary layer is thin compared to the total water depth.Bhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0485(1994)024<1464:TOACDF>2.0.CO;2 [?#Chao, Shenn-Yu Boicourt, William C.1986Onset of Estuarine Plumes 2137-2149 Journal of Physical Oceanography1612December 1, 1986uThe onset of estuarine plumes is numerically studied here, using a three-dimensional, primitive-equation model. The model ocean consists of a narrow estuary that is connected to an otherwise enclosed ocean basin. The basin is initially filled with saline water. Subsequently, freshwater is pumped in near the surface and the saline water is withdrawn from below at the head of the estuary. To maximize the chance of development for a baroclinic flow field, a rigid-lid and a flat bottom are assumed, and the inflow-outflow profile has no barotropic component. The plume expands in the direction of propagation of the coastally trapped waves after the freshwater release. The intrusion speed inside the estuary is consistently higher than that along the shelf. Energy is therefore accumulated near the estuary mouth, forming a bulge of anticyclonic surface flow. The far-field flow consists of a bore intrusion along the shelf. The transitional zone between the near-field and far-field flows is characterized by strong cyclonic surface flow and also strong downwelling. For reasonable amounts of vertical mixing and bottom drag, two-layer opposite flows are confined inside the bulge and the far-field bore intrusion is unidirectional. In the limit of small vertical mixing and vanishing bottom drag, the difference in intrusion speeds in and out of the estuary is reduced. The seaward expansion of the bulge decreases, and the undercurrent leaks out of the bulge and propagates behind the nose of the bore. The three-dimensional structures of the density-driven estuarine circulation and also of the bore intrusion along the shelf have been identified.@http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0485(1986)016<2137:OOEP>2.0.CO;2 ?Bowman, M.

Chapman, David C.1997:A Simple Theory for the Fate of Buoyant Coastal Discharges 1386-1401 Journal of Physical Oceanography277 July 1, 1997A simple theory that predicts the vertical structure and offshore spreading of a localized buoyant inflow onto a continental shelf is formulated. The theory is based on two competing mechanisms that move the buoyant fluid offshore: 1) the radial spread of the lighter water over the ambient water, being deflected by the Coriolis force and producing an anticyclonic cyclostrophic plume, and 2) offshore transport of buoyant water in the frictional bottom boundary layer that moves the entire plume offshore while maintaining contact with the bottom. The surface expression of the cyclostrophic plume moves offshore a distanceys {equals} 2(3g'h0 {plus} {upsi} 2i)/(2g'h0 {plus} {upsi} 2i)1/2f,where g' is reduced gravity based on the inflow density anomaly, h0 is the inflow depth, {upsi}i is the inflow velocity, and f is the Coriolis parameter. The plume remains attached to the bottom to a depth given byhb {equals} (2L{upsi}ih0f/g')1/2,where L is the inflow width. Both scales are based solely on parameters of the buoyant inflow at its source. There are three possible scenarios. 1) If the predicted hb is shallower than the inflow depth, then the bottom boundary layer does not transport buoyancy offshore, and a purely surface-advected plume forms, which extends offshore a minimum of more than four Rossby radii. 2) If the hb isobath is farther offshore than ys, then transport in the bottom boundary layer dominates and a purely bottom-advected plume forms, which is trapped along the hb isobath. 3) If the hb isobath is deeper than the inflow depth but shoreward of ys, then an intermediate plume forms in which the plume detaches from the bottom at hb and spreads offshore at the surface to ys. The theory is tested using a primitive equation numerical model. All three plume types are reproduced with scales that agree well with the theory. The theory is compared to a number of observational examples. In all cases, the prediction of plume type is correct, and the length scales are consistent with the theory.Bhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0485(1997)027<1386:ASTFTF>2.0.CO;2 ?+Yankovsky, Alexander E. Garvine, Richard W.1998NSubinertial Dynamics on the Inner New Jersey Shelf during the Upwelling Season 2444-2458 Journal of Physical Oceanography2812December 1, 1998Subinertial dynamics on the inner New Jersey shelf is examined using time series of the forcing agents (atmospheric pressure, wind stress, and Hudson River streamflow), adjusted sea level (ASL) along the southern part of the Mid-Atlantic Bight, and mooring data collected during the summer of 1996. High-frequency (period 1-3 days) transient wind-driven events were evident both in ASL and alongshelf current data. ASL events propagated southward with remarkably high speed (~10 m s-1) in the manner of free coastally trapped waves (CTW). However, these transients were forced by the wind events within the study domain: both ASL and alongshelf current fluctuations were coherent with the local alongshore wind stress. ASL amplitude substantially increased downshelf (southward). These transient flows propagated from the corner in the coastline formed by the southern Long Island and northern New Jersey coasts. This bend of the coastline created a discontinuity in the alongshore wind stress component that caused the generation of CTW pulses at this location. During the period of observations, enhanced buoyant flows arrived at the site of the moorings. They were associated with increased Hudson River discharge. These buoyant flows and transient wind-driven events strongly interacted: transient wind-driven currents were dramatically amplified in the buoyant water while the buoyant water was spread offshore. Amplified transient currents were not associated with the enhanced vertical shear. Lower-frequency wind forcing generated upwelling events with typical duration of 8-10 days. During the upwelling, temperature dropped through the whole water column, but the stratification remained significant (5-deg-6-degC in 8-10 m of water). Even though upwelling-favorable winds dominated, record-mean currents in the upper layer were weak (2-5 cm s-1) due to the close competition between wind and buoyancy forcing.Bhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0485(1998)028<2444:SDOTIN>2.0.CO;2 ?2Yankovsky, Alexander E.

The aim of this study is to follow a chain of sensitivities that lead to a delayed-oscillator mechanism in a general circulation model. To this end, the adjoint of such an ocean model is used for studying sensitivities of ENSO indices.The ocean model used in this study is the Hamburg Ocean Primitive Equation (HOPE) ocean general circulation model. Its adjoint has been constructed using the Adjoint Model Compiler. Applied to a scalar function computed with a forward model run, an adjoint run goes back in time and calculates sensitivities as the derivatives of this function to forcing fields or ocean state variables at earlier times.Results from six adjoint runs are reported, tracing the sensitivities of the NINO3 and NINO3.4 indices in October 1987, December 1987, and December 1988, as simulated by a Pacfic-only version of HOPE forced by ECHAM-3 fluxes.The sensitivities to sea level can be followed back in time for more than a year. They are nonlocal: patterns propagate back in time that are identified as adjoint Kelvin and n = 1, 2, and 3 Rossby waves, with speeds compatible with those obtained from model density profiles. Both the first and the second baroclinic modes seem to play a role. In contrast, the model sensitivities to heat flux, zonal surface currents, and SST are local and decay in about a month.The sensitivities to the wind stress agree with the wave interpretation of the sea-level sensitivities, but only the n = 1 Rossby wave is visible. Going back in time, the sensitivity to westerly anomalies along the equator changes sign, in agreement with the delayed-oscillator picture.Finally, a statistical atmosphere model is used to convert sensitivities to wind stress at a given time to sensitivities to SST through the atmosphere at that time. Focusing on the sensitivities to the ENSO index region itself at an earlier time then closes the circle. These sensitivities have a natural interpretation as delayed-oscillator coefficients and show the expected behavior of a positive sensitivity in the recent past changing to a negative sensitivity at longer lags. However, the strength of these feedbacks, and hence the relevance of this mechanism in ENSO simulated in HOPE, cannot be determined accurately.Phttp://dx.doi.org/10.1175%2F1520-0493%281999%29127%3C1477%3ATDTEDO%3E2.0.CO%3B2 ?%Junge, M.

This is done by analyzing the sensitivity of the equatorial stratification to midlatitude processes using an ocean general circulation model, the adjoint method, and a quasigeostrophic normal-mode stability analysis. It is found that, on timescales of 2–15 yr, the equatorial Pacific is most sensitive to midlatitude planetary Rossby waves traveling from the midlatitudes toward the western boundary and then to the equator. Those waves that propagate through baroclinically unstable parts of the subtropical gyre are amplified by the baroclinic instability and therefore dominate the midlatitude signal arriving at the equator. This result implies that decadal variability in the midlatitude Pacific would be efficiently transmitted to the equatorial Pacific from specific areas of the midlatitude Pacific that are baroclinically unstable, such as the near-equatorial edges of the subtropical gyres (15°N and 12°S). The Rossby waves that propagate via the baroclinically unstable areas are of the advective mode type, which follow the gyre circulation to some degree and arrive from as far as 25°N and 30°S in the east Pacific. It is shown that the baroclinic instability amplifying these waves involves critical layers due to the vertical shear of the subtropical gyre circulation, at depths of 150–200 m.Phttp://dx.doi.org/10.1175%2F1520-0485%282003%29033%3C1877%3AAMTMVB%3E2.0.CO%3B2 ?(Bertsekas, D.

A solution to the design problem is presented here in terms of optimal observations that emerge as singular vectors of the modified data resolution matrix. The actual computation is feasible only for scalar quantities and in the limit of large observational errors. Identical twin experiments performed in the framework of a 1° North Atlantic primitive equation model demonstrate that such optimal observations, when applied to determining the heat transport across the Greenland–Scotland ridge, perform significantly better than traditional section data. On seasonal to interannual time scales, optimal observations are located primarily along the continental shelf and information about heat transport, wind stress, and stratification is being communicated through boundary waves and advective processes. On time scales of about 1 month, sea surface height observations appear to be more efficient in reconstructing the cross-ridge heat transport than hydrographic observations. Optimal observations also provide a tool for understanding changes of ocean state associated with anomalies of integral quantities such as meridional heat transport.#http://dx.doi.org/10.1175%2F2513.1  ?+Losch, Martin Heimbach, Patrick2007NAdjoint Sensitivity of an Ocean General Circulation Model to Bottom Topography377-393 Journal of Physical Oceanography372February 01, 2007Bottom topography, or more generally the geometry of the ocean basins, is an important ingredient in numerical ocean modeling. With the help of an adjoint model, it is shown that scalar diagnostics or objective functions in a coarse-resolution model, such as the transport through Drake Passage, the strength of the Atlantic Ocean meridional overturning circulation, the Deacon cell, and the meridional heat transport across 32°S, are sensitive to bottom topography as much as they are to surface boundary conditions. For example, adjoint topography sensitivities of the transport through Drake Passage are large in choke-point areas such as the Crozet–Kerguélen Plateau and south of New Zealand; the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is sensitive to topography in the western boundary region of the North Atlantic Ocean and along the Scotland–Iceland Ridge. Many sensitivities are connected to steep topography and can be interpreted in terms of bottom form stress, that is, the product of bottom pressure and topography gradient. The adjoint sensitivities are found to agree with direct perturbation methods with deviations smaller than 30% for significant perturbations on time scales of 100 yr, so that the assumption of quasi linearity that is implicit in the adjoint method holds. The horizontal resolution of the numerical model affects the sensitivities to bottom topography, but large-scale patterns and the overall impact of changes in topography appear to be robust. The relative impact of changes in topography and surface boundary conditions on the model circulation is estimated by multiplying the adjoint sensitivities with assumed uncertainties. If the uncertainties are correlated in space, changing the surface boundary conditions has a larger impact on the scalar diagnostics than topography does, but the effects can locally be on the same order of magnitude if uncorrelated uncertainties are assumed. In either case, bottom topography variations within their prior uncertainties affect the solution of an ocean circulation model. To this extent, including topography in the control vector can be expected to compensate for identifiable model errors and, thus, to improve the solutions of estimation problems.&http://dx.doi.org/10.1175%2FJPO3017.1 ?,Li, X.

Part I: The forward model and the influence of realistic versus climatological forcing submittedJournal of Geophysical ResearchWe report on a numerical simulation of the California Current circulation using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) model, focusing on the region of the northern and central California during the 5-year period from 2000 to 2004. Unlike previous model studies of the California Current System, the present configuration is characterized by both realistic external forcing and a spatial domain covering most of the North America west coast. Specifically, this configuration is driven at the surface by high-resolution meteorological fields from the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and at the lateral open boundaries by output from the project, Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean supported by the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (ECCO-GODAE). The simulation is evaluated favorably through quantitative comparisons with the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) data set, satellite derived sea surface temperature, and surface drifters derived eddy kinetic energy. The impact of adopting realistic versus climatological surface forcing is demonstrated by comparing mean and mesoscale circulation characteristics. Realistic surface forcing qualitatively alters the seasonal cycle of the mean alongshore jet and better reproduces the summer spatial structure and intensity of the eddy kinetic energy field along the central Califo?/-Veneziani, Milena Edwards, C. A. Moore, A. M.2008jA Central California modeling study. Part II: Adjoint sensitivities to local and remote forcing mechanisms submittedJournal of Geophysical ResearchThe sensitivity of particular features within the California Current System to remote and local forcing is numerically investigated using the adjoint model version of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). We define three integral measures of nearshore surface temperature, cross-shore transport, and sea surface height as metrics that characterize important aspects of the coastal circulation. We determine the metrics' relative sensitivity to different components of the surface external forcing and model initial condition fields. Calculations are performed for 14-day intervals over the five year period from 2000 to 2004. Sensitivities are ranked in terms of their relative importance in the annual average, and their seasonal cycle is examined. Contributions from different portions of the domain are identified to determine the importance of local versus remote forcing. Local forcing, particularly wind stress and at times heat flux, are the dominant forcing contributors to temperature and transport sensitivities, although model initial conditions can contribute quantitatively on the same order as surface fluxes. The sea surface height metric reveals important nonlocal effects, particularly along the open boundary of this regional simulation. rnia coast.?0*Allen, J. S. Newberger, P. A.
