Climatology: Baroclinic Solutions

OAX

The starting point are temperature and salinity profiles from NODC for the SAB region between 1950 and 1999. We optimally interpolate (using OAX5.0) temperature and salinity from the (x,y,z) coordinates onto constant Z levels required for FUNDY6.

Fundy

These plots show the F6 response to the above described mass field. The south boundary (upstream relative to the Gulf Stream or downstream relative to Kelvin wave propagation) condition is geostrophic. The elevation is prescribed along the east and north open boundaries. This elevation is set as per the "Mary Joe" compensation method.
