  This project aims to detect variabilities and trends in outputs of a three dimensional hydrodynamical numerical model based on a version of the Princeton Ocean Model (POM), covering the region between 85°S-30°N and 70°W-25°E, with 0.5° x 0.5° resolution. Surface data of temperature and salinity, from Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), together with meteorological data of winds and surface fluxes, generated by reanalyzes of NCEP/NCAR global model, were used as model forcings. The temperature-salinity data, meteorological data and model results cover the period from 1980 to 2009 (30 years). The model was validated through comparisons with outputs of oceanic buoy data from the PIRATA project (for the period 1997-2009) and satellite measurements by MODIS sensor (for the period 2003-2009). Model results and sea surface temperature data from PIRATA display st.. Read More»
