Revised DART-06 modeling domains

(Click on image for full resolution figure)

To the right are 2 proposed sets Harvard modeling domains for DART-06, overlying a 1 minute topography from Paolo Oddo and the GSHHS coastlines. Included on the figure are the isobaths delimiting the operational limits of the SEPTR buoy (100m) and the Barny ADCP (300m).

The Harvard domains (outlined in white) are 2 sets of telescoping 2-way nestable grids. The basic rational for these domains are:

Mid-Adriatic (Largest)

A domain spanning the initial sampling region of the experiment. The domain spans the full width of the Adriatic. Can be nested with either of the Gargano domains.

Gargano-1/Gulf of Manfredonia (Small,Solid)

A domain to resolve eddies shed off the Gargano Peninsula and to resolve the up-stream conditions. This one fully encompasses the fine scale survey.

Gargano-2/Gulf of Manfredonia (Small,dashed)

A domain to resolve eddies shed off the Gargano Peninsula and to resolve the up-stream conditions. This one avoids a deep SE corner.
