 |
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)
