| 1. |
Define a
rectangle in the ECMWF wind stress curl field
|
|
|
circumscribing
the bull's-eye near Hawaii.
|
|
|
| 2. |
Interpolate
across the rectangle in both the ECMWF and HR
|
|
|
wind stress
fields.
|
|
| 3. |
Subtract the
interpolated HR from the pure HR and add the
|
|
|
residual to the
interpolated ECMWF field.
|
|
| 4. |
Calculate wind
stress curl fields and make sure the blending
|
|
|
does not create
anomalous curl at the rectangle boundaries.
|
|
|
| 5. |
Calculate the
linear solution using 1/16° global NLOM; if
|
|
|
positive results
run 1/12° Pacific HYCOM.
|
|
|
(Over the Hawaii region the HR stresses are ~40%
stronger than
|
|
ECMWF, so the HR
residual is reduced by this amount.)
