ROMS_SEC2

Contribution of ROMS to the SECALIS2 analysis: Work in progress

A.  ROMS simulation forced by Mercator (ORCA05 interannual with assimilation of SLA), Zoom Nouvelle Calédonie au 1/12°

Etat des lieux:
The sections are sampled every 10 km (Résolution of the run)
The transport in the "Grand Passage" is of 1.5 SV which cannot explain the difference.

A.1.a   Section.gif

A.1.b  Temperature, Salinity
1. Sections:   Temperature.gif ,   Salinity.gif
2. Relation TS:   TetaS.gif (New 5/03/07)

A.1.c Velocity
1. U_Roms.gif
2. V_Roms.gif
3. Geostrophic velocity relative to 2000m:   Ugeo_0-2000.gif ; with density.gif
4. Roms Velocity across the section (positive for the outflow)
a. Total velocity: UT ROMS (0-2000); UT ROMS (0-4000)
b. Velocity referenced at 2000m  UT ROMS

A.1.d  Cumulated mass transport
The 26 sigma separates the surface layers from the bottom layers.
A fix depth at 265 m is chosen for the depth of this density level.
Transports computed between: 0-2000; 0-265; 265-2000, 0-bottom

1.  From Geostrophy: Transports.gif
2.  From the velocity fields, two methods are used:
a. Using U,V across the meridional and zonal sections
Transports from UV.gif
b. Using the transverse velocity
1. Total velocity transports from UT
2. Velocity referenced at 2000m  transports from UT

There is a bias between both methods. The explanation could be a storage inside the domain defined by the section and its zonal and meridional projections????
