For skill metrics, we employ the reduction of the\r\nensemble root-mean-square-error (RMSE) between the \u201ctrue\u201d data-assimilative ocean simulation and the\r\ndifferent ensembles of data-assimilative hindcasts. A 5-glider optimal sampling study is set up for a 400 km x\r\n400 km domain in the Middle Atlantic Bight region, along the New Jersey shelf-break. Results are compared\r\nfor several ocean and atmospheric forcing conditions.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regional ocean models are capable of forecasting conditions for usefully long intervals of time (days) provided that initial and ongoing conditions can be measured.
