Circulation Model Experiments of the Gulf Stream Using Satellite-Derived Fields

The ability to perform skillful forecasts of the space and time evolution of mesoscale ocean phenomena can significantly improve acoustic surveillance capabilities, search and rescue operators, the performance of weapon systems, and other aspects of naval operations. The Ocean Dynamics and Predictio...
