Estimates of three components of an uncertainty budget for a coastal ocean model in a wind-forced regime
are made based on numerical simulations. The budget components behave differently in the shelf regime,
inshore of the 200-m isobath, and the slope-interior regime, between the 200-m isobath and a fixed longitude
(1268W)...
The predictability of coastal ocean circulation over the central Oregon shelf, a region of strong wind-driven
currents and variable topography, is studied using ensembles of 50-day primitive equation ocean model
simulations with realistic topography, simplified lateral boundary conditions, and forcing from both idealized
and observed wind time series representative of...
