Our long-term goal is to implement the feature-oriented regional modeling methodology for the Monterey Bay (MB) forecasting system in retrospective and real-time operations using (i) the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) and (ii) the Harvard Ocean prediction System (HOPS). Three specific objectives were pursued to achieve our long-term goal: (i) to develop a synoptic high- resolution regional climatology for Monterey Bay and the California Current System (CCS), (ii) to implement ...
The convergence of advective and diffusive buoyancy flux must match the air-sea buoyancy flux between two outcropping isopycnals. This leads to a diagnostic framework for water mass transformation in which a myriad of different processes can be incorporated under a unifying balance. We review how the diapycnal advection due to ubiquitous mixed layer entrainment can be included in this framework, and we estimate its contribution to the large scale transformation. ...
