Winter
(February 15) current velocity
for
the HYCOM KPP case in the
uppermost
model layer (top) and
vertically
averaged within the
mixed
layer.
The
differences show the dominance
of
wind-driven ageostrophic flow in
the
model surface layer (upper 10m).
Vertical
current structure within the
mixed
layer could not be resolved by
MICOM.
