Whole basin model of the Gulf of Mexico [electronic resource]

An ocean model which is advanced beyond the current state of the art has been developed. Characteristics of the model include: a second moment turbulence closure model capable of accurate prediction of small scale turbulent mixing and derivative ocean features such as mixed layer temperature and dep...

520 3 |a An ocean model which is advanced beyond the current state of the art has been developed. Characteristics of the model include: a second moment turbulence closure model capable of accurate prediction of small scale turbulent mixing and derivative ocean features such as mixed layer temperature and depth; an algorithm which calculates the external (tidal) mode separately from the internal mode; a sigma coordinate system with 20 levels in the vertical independent of depth; and coding deliberately designed for modern array processing computers. Some preliminary tests of the model as applied to the Gulf of Mexico are presented herein. The results to date are encouraging and indicate that the model should be useful in evaluating the environmental impact of many OTEC power plants deployed in the Gulf of Mexico or subsequently in other regions of the World Ocean. Conversely, the model should be useful in establishing oceanographic parameters (e.g., current shear) required by power plant designers.
