 | Glider observations were essential components of the observational program in the Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN-II) experiment in the Monterey Bay area during summer of 2003. This paper is focused on the impact of the assimilation of glider temperature and salinity observations on the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) predictions of surface and subsurface properties. The modeling system consists of an implementation of the NCOM model using a curvilinear, orthogonal ... |

| The Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) is a free-surface, primitive-equation model that is under development at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The NCOM-based model of the Monterey Bay area is evaluated during a series of upwelling and relaxation wind events in August-September of 2000. The model receives open boundary conditions from a regional NCOM implementation of the California Current System and surface fluxes from the Navy Coupled Ocean/ Atmosphere Mesoscale ... |

| Euphotic zone depth, Z1%, reflects the depth where photosynthetic available radiation (PAR) is 1% of its surface value. The value Of Z1% is a measure of water clarity, which is an important parameter regarding ecosystems. Based on the Case-1 water assumption, Z1% can be estimated empirically from the remotely derived concentration of chlorophyll-a ([Chl]), commonly retrieved by employing band ratios of remote sensing reflectance (Rrs). Recently, a model based on ... |

|
| The interplay between the Point Ano Nuevo upwelling center, an offshore anticyclonic mesoscale eddy, and the waters of the Monterey Bay was studied during a series of up- and downwelling favorable wind events during August 2000. The upwelling events were characterized by the appearance of cold, salty water at Point Ano Nuevo at the north end of the bay that subsequently spread southward across the mouth of the bay as ... |

| This article is the second of a two-part paper on ELCIRC, an Eulerian-Lagrangian finite difference/finite volume model designed to simulate 3D baroclinic circulation across river-to-ocean scales. In part one (Zhang et al., 2004), we described the formulation of ELCIRC and assessed its baseline numerical skill. Here, we describe the application of ELCIRC within CORIE, a coastal margin observatory for the Columbia River estuary and plume. We first introduce the CORIE ... |

| Enhanced products based on satellite-derived ocean surface winds will be distributed to Navy and commercial vessels, and civilian forecasters, with improved accuracy and much greater ease of interpretation. Two additional products, based on these improved observations, will also improve the ease and speed of interpretation and ocean modeling. A third product will provide an improved alternative for ocean modeling. The technology will be transferred to NOAA/NESDIS for routine use and ... |
