Ocean Circulation Model

This study presents a multi-nested ocean circulation model developed recently for the central Scotian Shelf. The model consists of four submodels downscaling from the eastern Canadian Shelf to the central Scotian Shelf. The model is driven by tides, river discharges, and atmospheric forcing. The model results are validated against observations, including satellite remote sensing data from GHRSST and Aquarius and in situ measurements taken by tide gauges, a marine buoy, ADCPs and CTDs. The ocean circulation model is able to capture variations of sea level, hydrography and the Nova Scotia Current on timescales of days to seasons over the central Scotian Shelf. Model results are used in a process study to examine the effect of tidal mixing and wind-driven coastal upwelling in the formation of cold surface waters along the coast of Nova Scotia.

Model Geometry

A simple wind driven ocean circulation model with one active layer is used to simulate the coastal circulation around India. The close agreement of numerical results to that of the observed fields ind1cate the influence of wind on the coastal circulation. The northward currents along the west coast of India during winter months are dominated by remote forcing from Bay of Bengal; however the southward currents during summer months are less influenced by the remote forcing. The coastaly trapped Kelvin waves which give rise to the remote forcing response are found to be produced by the annual cycle in the local wind of the Bay of Bengal. Equatorial waves do not provide the correct phase of west coast circulation. The island chains of Maldive and Laccadive do not affect the model circulation significantly. But the exclusion of Sri Lanka from the model geometry significantly alters the circulation of southwestern Bay of Bengal during summer months. Some of these findings are already shown by sophisticated multilayer models, e.g., McCreary et al. 1993. However, some of these results are again reproduced here in order to highlight the significance of such simple model and hence the simple model is used for detail study.
