| description | <p>We describe “Doppio”, a ROMS-based (Regional Ocean Modeling System) model of the
Mid-Atlantic Bight and Gulf of Maine regions of the northwestern North Atlantic
developed in anticipation of future applications to biogeochemical cycling,
ecosystems, estuarine downscaling, and near-real-time forecasting. This
free-running regional model is introduced with circulation simulations
covering 2007–2017. The ROMS configuration choices for the model are
detailed, and the forcing and boundary data choices are described and explained.
A comprehensive observational data set is compiled for skill assessment from
satellites and in situ observations from regional associations of the U.S.
Integrated Ocean Observing Systems, including moorings, autonomous gliders,
profiling floats, surface-current-measuring coastal radar, and fishing fleet
sensors. Doppio's performance is evaluated with respect to these
observations by representation of subregional temperature and salinity
error statistics, as well as velocity and sea level coherence spectra. Model
circulation for the Mid-Atlantic Bight and Gulf of Maine is visualized
alongside the mean dynamic topography to convey the model's capabilities.</p> |
