Model Censuses (2)
•The following three slides illustrate layer thickness and total heat content evolution during the 25-year spinups of six of the HYCOM simulations.
–Results are similar for all six cases.
–Model adjustments in the upper ocean have been largely completed after the 25-year spinup
–Significant adjustments of intermediate and deep water are still occurring after 25 years. These large adjustments occur in part because the p(lat) initialization was not accurate at these depths.
•The subsequent four slides present the volumetric T-S censuses.
