Impact
of small-scale processes within the Labrador Sea on the surrounding ocean.
This figure shows a temperature snapshot at 350m from a North Atlantic 1/3°
configuration of the OPA model, with a 1/15° local refinement in the region
of interest (Chanut, 2003). The AGRIF package (Blayo and Debreu, 1999) allows
a dynamically-consistent two-way coupling of regional and basin-to-global
scale model configurations at different resolutions. The package will be used
in DRAKKAR which aims at studying remote interactions within the world ocean
and large-scale effects of key local processes, as well as improving
subgrid-scale parameterisations in ocean models.
