Coastal (Sverdrup) Boundary Condition

• Integrated pressure
• Coastal locations: P over Tau  Tau over P
    Grid structure along coast: Positions of eastern edges of data  XBT gridpoints  QS gridpoints
• Winds:
  • Angles of winds and coast (line plot)  Coastal winds: vectors and shaded angle
  • Alongshore and Offshore components: Vectors  Shade  Overlay vectors
  • Offshore Ekman transport
  • Profile off Peru
  • Std Dev of coastal quantities
• Winds sampled along coastal coordinates:
  • Variance ellipses
  • Hofmullers: Windspeed  Taux and Tauy  Vectors  Longshore and Offshore components
  • North up: Windspeed  Taux and Tauy  Vectors  Longshore and Offshore components
• Another way of sampling coastal winds (Schlax): Sampling and components  Vectors  Coastal BC integration
• Geostrophic currents:
  • Coastal gridpoints
  • Means: DH  Integrated Pressure
  • Mean onshore current
  • Mean onshore transport
  • Annual cycles: Sfc current  Transport (Sv)  Transport (m2/s)
• IntP and Tau integrated along coast  Version h2
• Effect of using different mean TS (Levitus 1982 and 1994):
  • Mean on level surfaces: DH at sfc  S at levels
  • Differences along coast: DH  Salt  Both differences   Integrated Pressure
