The model
observation:
1)By comparing with
GoMOOS salinity measurement data, the USGS river discharge data seems to
underestimate the freshwater loading to the coastal region.
2)
2)The value of the
underestimation varies with time.
3)
3)For this reason,
the model underestimates the salt content in the coastal region and thus causes
an inaccurate simulation of the low-salinity plume.
