Abstract:

WFCOM, consisting of the FVCOM nested in the HYCOM, Numerical circulation model simulation of West Florida Continental Shelf (WFS) and the Loop Current for the entirety of 2010 and quantitatively gauged against in situ observations.

Purpose:

To develop a regional 3D Earth System Model that includes interfacial exchange processes between sediment, water, and atmosphere; biogeochemical processes, the transport of organisms, and the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on all of these processes.
