•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
