“…Instantaneous fields (in ROMS 'history' files) output at 30-min intervals are analyzed. As in Whitney et al (2021), results are presented in a rotated coordinate system with x directed approximately westward alongshore, y directed approximately southward offshore, and z positive upwards from the static surface. Analysis relies on model bottom depth (h), surface elevation (η, positive when above z = 0), salinity (Sal, measured on the Practical Salinity Scale), temperature (Temp), freshwater concentration (C), horizontal velocity components (u and v in the x and y directions, respectively), bottom stress components (τ bx and τ by , with magnitude τ b ) eddy viscosity for momentum (K m ), and eddy diffusivities (K Sal and K Temp for salinity and temperature, respectively).…”
