Studies using multi-region and open boundary conditions for terrain bottom-following ocean models
The objective of this thesis is to develop a prognostic model of the Northern Canary Current System (NCCS) based on the Princeton Ocean Model with parallel processing capabilities on a cluster of workstations and improved boundary conditions. A one-way coupling with a z-level basin scale model, a No...
