A generalized reduced-gravity ocean model : an application for the short-term evolution and prediction of surface mesoscale fields /

Discussed herein is a single mode, equivalent barotropic ocean model with realistic vertical structure for currents that is intended for simulating the temporal evolution of near-surface flow patterns within and near the continental slope boundaries of ocean basins. The model is based on the gravest...
