Planned PO Activities II
1. Investigate relationships between GB/GoM water masses and properties
with upstream sources (Scotian shelf, St. Lawrence, Labrador shelf,
NWA), larger scale indices (e.g., NAO) using all available data (Flagg,
Smith (BIO), Mountain)
2. Investigate relationships between GB/GoM SST and larger scale SST
using 1985-1999 SST dataset (Brunner, Bisagni)
3. Get and setup SMAST supercomputer (Chen, Cowles) and WHOI
minicomputer (Sepulveda, Churchill)
4. Get complete 1999 FVCOM simulation data from Alaska computer, and
setup dedicated server to host complete 1995 and 1999 FVCOM output
(Chen)
5. Compare FVCOM 1995 and 1999 simulations, with focus on (a)
development of stratification, (b) wind-driven flow, (c) Lagrangian
transport from Scotian shelf and GoM to GB, (d) differences between
years (Chen, Beardsley, Flagg, Limeburner).
6. Run MM5/FVCOM for 1998, 1997, and 1996 and serve results (Chen)
