Abstract:

Summary StatusFuture. Explore improved open boundary condition schemes. Better process for data transfer and coordinate remapping presently ad hoc extrapolation and landseabathy mis-match. Especially for future operational applications MURI-ESPreSSO unbiased Hycom on shelf preferred. But possibly corrected via shelf assimilation. Should use inter-annual river flow variability in both models but especially in ROMS.
