OCEANUS CRUISE 322 HINDCAST DEFAULT PLOTS

This web-site shows the results of a hindcast run for the OCEANUS Cruise 322, April 15 - 27, 1998. Hindcasting was accomplished using iterations of the QUODDY 4.1 forward model and the TRUXTON 6.2 inverse model using weighted least squares for the M2 and K1 tidal forcing, plus a residual, Z0. Hindcast model data are archived in two forms, hourly values of the barotropic current components and the sea surface elevation, and six-hourly values of the complete 3-D baroclinic fields of current, temperature, salinity, turbulence parameters, aswell as sea surface elevation.
