Abstract

A global simulation of the ocean response to atmospheric wind and pressure forcing has been run during the Topex/Poseidon (T/P) period (1992–2002), using a new hydrodynamic finite element (FE) model, MOG2D‐G. Model outputs are compared to in situ observations with tide gauge data (TG) and bottom pre...
