Benefit of Nesting a Regional Model into a Large-Scale Ocean Model Instead of Climatology. Application to the West Florida Shelf

The impact of open boundary conditions on the dynamics and accuracy of a regional West Florida Shelf model is addressed. A ROMS-based model nested in monthly climatological temperature and salinity and in the North Atlantic HYCOM model is implemented. The model results of these nesting implementatio...
