•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.
