Initial application is to the Yellow Sea, with technology transfer from parallel efforts in the Gulf of Maine. Objectives are to: 1) Develop a realistic circulation model for the Yellow Sea. Processes must include tides and tidal rectification, wind, remote forcing, and baroclinicity. 2) Develop and archive climatological circulation for the Yellow Sea, in 6 bimonthly seasons. 3) Develop data-assimilative methods for shipboard limited-area nowcasting and forecasting using inverse methods and the above results as prior estimates.
