Forecast for 12 September 2008, Issued 10 September 2008

Zero Initial Net Transport Between Taiwan and Mainland China

Available Fields
Temperature Salinity Sea Surface Elevation Velocity

Below are daily snapshots from an 11 day forced with a combination of COAMPS (wind stress) and NOGAPS (heat-flux, E-P) atmospheric forcing, initialized using the Taiwanese in situ data (OR2-OR3 data) and a summer climatology created using June-August profiles and the HydroBase2 software. It also assimilates the OR1 initialization survey and the first 2 SeaSoar surveys. During the initialization procedure, a fixed zero initial net transport was imposed between Taiwan and Mainland China.

Snapshots from the simulation with a fixed 1.0 Sv southward transport can be found here.

Acoustic simulations from each of these two dynamical simulations, with vertical sections of transmission loss (TL) and sound speed, can be found here.
