Winter (February 15) S along
33W to a depth of 500m. The thick
line is the mixed layer base.
The simulated fields are generally
similar in structure and are
reasonably consistent with the
observations. A major exception is
the lower nearsurface S in the interior
subtropical gyre for the HYCOM
K-T MICOM mode simulation. This
is associated with the westward
displacement of the region of large
salinity in the subtropical gyre
relative to the location in other
HYCOM simulations and in
observations that was documented
in earlier slides.
