A high‐resolution assimilating tidal model for the northeast Pacific Ocean

Annual plankton dynamics in a coupled physical–biological model of the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia

“…River data were obtained from Environment Canada's website (https://ec.gc.ca/rhcwsc/default.asp?lang=En&n=9018B5EC-1), United States Geological Survey's website (waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/) and derived as in Morrison et al (2012). The model is forced at the open boundaries by eight tidal constituents (K 2 , N 2 , S 2 , M 2 , Q 1 , P 1 , O 1 and K 1 ), with amplitude and phase from the barotropic tidal model of Foreman et al (2000).…”

Tides and sea‐level variability in the south‐west Pacific from TOPEX/Poseidon

“…Reasonable results have been obtained from these global tide models in open ocean areas (Andersen et al 1995). But global ocean tide models are usually inaccurate over continental shelf areas (Foreman et al 2000) because of their coarse grid resolution, inaccurate representation of damping, and in the instance of the south-west Pacific, from a previous lack of good-quality sealevel gauge data for validation (although a comprehensive network is now in place around the New Zealand coast).…”

Summer transport anomalies through the Bering Strait from satellite altimetry

“…Such model is currently developed at IOS for the Bering and Chukchi Seas (Foreman et al, in preparation), using analysed constituents at TP track crossovers in a data assimilation scheme, analogous to that used for the Northeast Pacific Ocean. 11 We therefore limit ourselves here to results obtained with TP data. Figure 1 shows temporal data coverage (in %) in the Bering Sea for both TP and ERS satellites.…”
