ROAM – IMOS comparisons David Griffin | Madeleine Cahill | Peter Oke Gary Carroll | Uwe Rosebrock CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research
Evaluation of ROAM surface currentsusing IMOS data HF radar system off Perth – only instrument to provide maps of current velocity right near the surface, out to ~100km depending on radar range at the time Look at this first, then briefly also: ADCPs off Townsville (more regular in time, all depths below ~12% of water depth, isolated locations). David Griffin
Lets look at time series of u and v at these 5 points David Griffin
Agreement (V component) fairly good, especially phase of inertial oscillations David Griffin
Eastward velocity component (u) also OK David Griffin
Different run (slightly bigger domain): more disagreement David Griffin
Especially for V (northward velocity) David Griffin
Larger domain: needs data assimilation (not used for this run, will do soon) David Griffin
Off Townsville, daily averages at 20m, fair qualitative agreement David Griffin
Tides also good. Roll eddy imaginary? David Griffin
Thankyou. Sorry I couldn’t make it. David Griffin
