Title: Southeast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System Bathymetry, Current and Sea Surface Height Model Output

Description:

Abstract:

Static and animated output displaying bottom topography contours, water level, and depth averaged current speed and direction. A suite of computer models calculates the depth-averaged currents and surface elevations in the regions shown. The models solve the equations of motion in a form appropriate for the ocean. The models are forced by winds from a weather prediction model and the astronomical tides.
