Creating high resolution fields
• Use Feature oriented regional modeling system
(FORMS) for GOMGB (Gangopadhyay et al.,
2003; Brown et al. 2007a-b)
• 270 non-dimensional structure functions for
temperature and salinity along and across seven
features in the Gulf/Bank
• Calibrate with SST 5-day composite (Bisagni’s lab)
• Use basin-scale simulations as background
• Multiscale Objective analysis will meld basin-to-
regional scale fields
• Use these high-resolution fields for biological
simulations
