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.
