Ocean Nested Grid Models in a Moderately Parallel Environment

This study addresses the feasibility of a two-way nesting algorithm in a moderately parallel environment. Two independent models: 1) a corse-grid resolution model for the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and 2) a fine-grid resolution model for the Mississippi Bight (MB) are executed in parallel and communicate the interfacing variables. As simulation proceed, the GOM provides open boundary conditions for the MB model. A feed-back procedure from the MB to the GOM model parameterizes and control the transfer of energy of the sub-scale features (relative to the coarse-grid spacing) features.

The method is applied to analyze the intrusion of the Loop Current over the MB, and its effect on the ecosystem.
