Limited Area Model
• High-res finite element, Baroclinic (Quoddy)
• Assimilation of Vbar, water level (adjoint of Quoddy)
• Real-time forecasting of coastal ocean state
• Need IC’s and OBC’s for T,S and “Remote” water level for Limited area region

“Coupling” to HYCOM in SAB
• Technical/Procedural Questions:– Mapping HYCOM TS to regional
grids; very different scales– Vertical grid, particularly @
shelfbreak– Frequency of HYCOM nowcasts– Impact on assimilation system
• Scientific Questions:– Low-freq sealevel variability as
related to GS transport, a la Blaha, Sturges, e.g.
– Mid-shelf TS comparisons to SABSOON towers
– Charleston Bump Dynamics Deflection atCharlestonBump
