Author:Rapeti, T; Backeberg, BjörnDate:Oct 2016Data assimilative ocean models play crucial roles in furthering the understanding, and providing forecasts of the Agulhas Current system. This study investigates the impact that assimilating sea surface temperatures (SST) combined with sea ...Read more
Author:De Vos, M; Backeberg, Björn; Counillon, FDate:Oct 2016The impact of assimilating along-track sea level anomaly (SLA) data into a regional Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is investigated with regard to the simulation of mesoscale eddy characteristics in the Agulhas System. Eddy characteristics ...Read more
Author:Roualt, M; Backeberg, BjörnDate:Oct 2016Sea-surface temperature (SST), altimetry derived sea-level anomalies (SLA) and surface current are used south of the Agulhas Current to identify warm core mesoscale ocean eddies presenting a distinct SST perturbation superior to 1(supo)C to ...Read more
