A Comparison between the TOPEX/POSEIDON Data and a Global Ocean General Circulation Model during 1992-93
The sea level observation during 1992-93 was used to validate the simulation made by a global ocean general circulation model forced by the daily wind stress and heat flux derived from National Meteorological Center operational analysis. The OGCM is a version of the Modular Ocean Model with a horizo...
