  3. Real-time Systems Future configurations: SPURS - Jan 2012 ? GOMEX ? - ??

  4. Real-time Systems Issues: - Storing output (especially long-term storage) - Managing data flows (incoming/outgoing) - Should we continue running the MB configuration?

  10. Strub, P. T., T. K. Chereskin, P. P. Niiler, M. D. Levine, and C. James, 1997: Altimeter-derived variability of surface velocities in the California Current System: Part 1, Evaluation of TOPEX altimeter velocity resolution. J. Geophys. Res., 102, 12727-12748. Besides evaluating altimeter performance, the study reveals several properties of the circulation in the California Current System: (1) velocity components are not isotropic but are polarized, strongly so at some locations, (2) there are instances of strong and persistent small-scale spatial variability in the velocity*, and (3) the energetic region of the California Current is isolated and surrounded by a region of lower energy starting 500-700 km offshore. *Quote: “Persistent small-scale variability occurs in the offshore region of the CCS, with opposing velocities of +,- 20 cm/s found within distances of 15-30 km.”
