The utility of using a numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecast model as an input to a simple ocean model for planning during reactive situations is studied. An oceanographic experiment called the Maud Rise Nonlinear Equation of State Study (MaudNESS) was conducted from June to September of 2005...
