Model Censuses (2)
The following three slides illustrate layer thickness and total heat content
evolution during the 25-year spinups of six of the HYCOM simulations.
Results are similar for all six cases.
Model adjustments in the upper ocean have been largely completed after
the 25-year spinup
Significant adjustments of intermediate and deep water are still occurring
after 25 years. These large adjustments occur in part because the p(lat)
initialization was not accurate at these depths.
The subsequent four slides present the volumetric T-S censuses.
