Will I Ever Be Allowed To "paint" In My Current Vectors? |
|
Answer» No. Algorithms that "SPREAD" VELOCITIES between observations by simple smoothing operations do not conserve mass or water, in our experience. We require hydrodynamic model output for currents so that the current fields reflect the physics the user intends: mass conservation, Coriolis effects, GEOSTROPHIC BALANCE, Ekman dynamics, etc. No. Algorithms that "spread" velocities between observations by simple smoothing operations do not conserve mass or water, in our experience.
