This repository provides the source code, functions, and figures for the analysis of MITgcm output to answer the following science question:
How well do ocean models perform close to the coastline of California?
with the underlying questions being What dynamics (coastal dynamics such as cross-shelf exchange, and dynamics occurring at scales spanning the transitions from balanced motions at the mesoscale to unbalanced motions at the frontal scale) are missing from our models?.
By using your model output along with a combination of in-situ and remotely-sensed observations from Gliders, HFR, SWOT and PACE, we aim to evaluate the model's performance in the California coastal regime.
