Winter
(February 15) salinity
vertically
averaged within the mixed
layer.
The
differences among the
simulated
fields are substantially
less
than the differences between
each
simulated field and the
observations.
Precipitation errors
plus
the lack of river runoff and sea
ice
in the model are major factors in
the
observed differences
The
subtropical gyre S maximum in
MICOM
mode is displaced to the
west
of the maximum in all other
HYCOM
simulations along with the
observations.
