In a hierarchy of increasing complexity of physical forcing mechanisms, we conduct a process-oriented study of the Northern Canary Current System (NCCS) with a terrain-following numerical ocean model (in this case the Princeton Ocean Model, POM) to investigate the forcing mechanisms for the classical as well as unique features of the NCCS. While most of the NCCS features are realistically simulated,...
Sigma coordinate ocean models, such as the Princeton Ocean Model, are a type of terrain-following model, which are currently being used in regions with large topographic variability such as entire ocean basins, shelf breaks, continental shelves, estuaries and bays. The main concern when using a terrain-following ocean model is to reduce the pressure gradient force error (PGFE). Regardless of the method...
