Analysis of GOM Oscillator and MAB EOF: Coarse and Fine Grid Modeling Studies
This document summarizes the coding and analysis of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) oscillator and the Multivariate Empirical Orthogonal Functions (MAB EOF) for evaluating surface currents (U, V) over coarse and fine grid runs from 1993 to 2007. Key components include new tidal data integration, the comparison of modes, and the impacts of wind conditions on eddy formation and volume transport. Part 1 focuses on coding, while Parts 2-4 delve into detailed analyses of EOF modes and their implications for climate studies.

Outline • Part 1: Coding • Part 2: MAB EOF for EL and (U,V) current for coarse grid • Part 3: GOM oscillator analysis: gomn117_noassim_noptb_n?wn_41: 02 to 62 • Part 4: GOM oscillator analysis: gomn117_noassim_noptb_n?wn_nogd_tprni0.05_c10_41
Part 1: coding for MAB • Coarse grid run 1. continue ua*3.0 to year 2008 2. new one with correct tidal data 3. new one with correct tidal data and ccmp3 wind • Fine grid run 1. new one from above 2 2. new one from above 3
Part 2: MAB EOF (cgrid) • EL, (U, V) current, Period: 1993-2007
EL Mode #1 1st mode need to be excluded
EL Mode #1 After 1st mode is excluded
Mode #2 Mode #3
(UV): surface to 50m Mode #1 Comparing to fine grid, mode #1 is similar.
Mode #2 Mode #3
Mode #4 Mode #5
