This is just the seed of an idea, presented at Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024, on how existing APG data from various basins and regional models from those same basins could be used to better understand the ocean circulation component of bottom pressure and how its characteristics vary in time and space.
Throughout, the paths are somewhat generalized (e.g., '../figures/blahblahblah.png), but in practice you'll likely get directory errors unless you manage to duplicate my unkown-to-you directory structure. So, running these codes will require you to update the paths to suit your system and organizational preferences.
- /tools <--- add to the path to ensure main codes work!
Useful bits of code (many authored by others) that get called by the main codes
- data_model_comp.m
Compares APG observed pressure to prediction from ROMS for each of Cascadia, Alaska, and Hikurangi
- dif_rms_loop_model.m
For each of Cascadia-, Alaska-, and Hikurangi- ROMS predicted pressure fields, considers reference location and calculates the RMS of its difference with every other location in the model domain. Results are contoured in map view to show relationship between low-RMS region and margin geometry. Additionally, results are plotted in depth difference vs. range space, to assess how parameters of depth matching compare between basins
- reformat_ROMS.m
Opens full ROMS extractions (that I have) and reformats them for consistency, including trimming to match the APG deployments in time and space
