Abstract
To understand climate change and to predict changes in climate, both atmospheric and ocean models need to be able to reproduce the responses of the system they are estimating. An evaluation of two related global ocean models, using a nine year time series of model sea surfaceh eights and measurementso f sea level from a global tide gauge set, shows that the ocean models satisfactorily reproduce the instantaneous local change in sea level. Sea level can be used as a tool to understand a model's ability to simulate sea surface temperature and thus influence atmospheric flows. The implication for climate modeling is that these ocean models can be used to simulate seasonal to decadal variations in global ocean circulation when coupled to high quality atmospheric models.

    Evaluating color fused image performance estimators 

    Ogawa, James S (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-09);
    This thesis evaluated the effectiveness of sensor fusion--combining infrared and low-light-level image to improve the F/A-18 target standoff range requirement. Several human performance studies have shown inconsistent ...

    Transports and budgets of volume, heat, and salt from a global eddy-resolving ocean model 

    McCann, M.P.; Semtner, A.J. Jr.; Chervin, R.M. (Springer, 1994-07-01);
    The results from an integration of a global ocean circulation model have been condensed into an analysis of the volume, heat, and salt transports among the major ocean basins. Transports are also broken down between the ...

    Modeling Ocean Circulation 

    Semtner, Albert (1995-09-08);
    Ocean numerical models have become quite realistic over the past several years as a result of improved methods, faster computers, and global data sets. Models now treat basin-scale to global domains while retaining the ...
