Data-constrained dynamical ocean modeling for\r\nthe purpose of detailed forecasting and prediction continues to\r\nevolve and improve in quality.

However, many submesoscale features are less well\r\nmodeled and remain largely unpredicted from a deterministic\r\nevent standpoint, and possibly also from a statistical property\r\nstandpoint. A multi-institution project is underway with goals of\r\nuncovering more of the details of a few submesoscale processes,\r\nworking toward better predictions of their occurrence and their\r\nvariability. A further component of our project is application of\r\nthe new ocean models to ocean acoustic modeling and prediction.\r\nThis paper focuses on one portion of the ongoing work: Efforts to\r\nlink nonhydrostatic-physics models of continental-shelf nonlinear\r\ninternal wave evolution to data-driven regional models.
