In general, a coastal current (CC), a front (SSF) and an eddy/gyre (E/G) are represented by:
CC: TM(x, η, z) =TMa(x, z)+ αM(x, z) M(η)
SSF: Tss(x, y, z) = Tsh (x, z) + (Tsl (x, z) – Tsh(x, z)) (, z)
E/G: T(r, z) = Tc (z) - [Tc (z) - Tk (z) ] {1-exp(-r/R)}
where, TM
a(x, z), Tsh (x, z) and Tc (z) are axis, shelf and core
(η) = (0 W)
(, z) = ½ + ½ tanh[(-.Z)/]

Shallow water feature models
• Use of ‘intelligent observations’ that are important to resolve the scales and represent the underlying dynamical processes
• Not only temperature-salinity structure, but include first-order dynamics
• Process-oriented feature models
![Page 34: Feature Oriented Regional Modeling System -- FORMS: An Overview Avijit Gangopadhyay University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Email: avijit@umassd.eduavijit@umassd.edu.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a192b2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Upwelling
• Wind speed and direction at highest available resolution from QuikScat
• Mixed-layer depth estimate from MODIS• Infer the Ekman Current in the Upper Mixed layer• Additional baroclinic currents may be added for
coastally trapped waves or alongshore currents• Monterey Bay in Summer 2003, Vietnamese shelf
in summer 2003, Brazil Current - Cape Frio upwelling region in austral summer 2003.
![Page 35: Feature Oriented Regional Modeling System -- FORMS: An Overview Avijit Gangopadhyay University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Email: avijit@umassd.eduavijit@umassd.edu.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a192b2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Transient feature models
• Coastal filaments, jets, squirts and eddies• Automated gradient-detection algorithm (Cayula
and Cornillon, 1995)• Small scales (1-100 km) and short-life (20-40
days)• Spatial and temporal dependence of FM
parameters• Low vs. high chlorophyll regions (Chan, 1999)
![Page 36: Feature Oriented Regional Modeling System -- FORMS: An Overview Avijit Gangopadhyay University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Email: avijit@umassd.eduavijit@umassd.edu.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a192b2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CONCLUSIONS
• Developing FORMS is a pre-requisite for Synoptic modeling system
• FORMS is unique for each region
• Shallow water FORMS are very important for accurate prediction of bio-physically active systems
• FORMS is independent of the numerical modeling system (POM, ROMS, MOM, POP, HOPS etc.)
