On-going Physical Model Works 
¥Conducted the assimilation experiments using the OI and Ensemble Kalman Filters:
        [Rizzoli (MIT), Beardsley (WHOI) and Chen (UMASS)]
          
           Reduced Rank Kalman Filter (RRKF)
           Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF)
           Ensemble Square-Root Kalman Filter (EnSKF)
           Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (EnTKF)

¥Upgrade the model to the third generation version and include the monthly volume transport on the Scotia slope:

        Generalized topographic coordinate FVCOM to have uniform-thickness layers in the upper mixed layer and bottom slope.
