Revised DART-06 modeling domains

(Click on image for full resolution figure)

To the right are the proposed Harvard modeling domains for DART-06, overlying a 1 minute topography from Paolo Oddo and the GSHHS coastlines. Included on the figure are the isobaths delimiting the operational limits of the SEPTR buoy (100m) and the Barny ADCP (300m).

The Harvard domains (outlined in white) are a set of telescoping 2-way nestable grids. The basic rational for these domain are:

Mid-Adriatic (Largest): A domain spanning the initial sampling region of the experiment with a buffer around the Gargano domain. The domain spans the full width of the Adriatic.
Gargano/Gulf of Manfredonia (Middle): A sample domain to resolve eddies shed off the Gargano Peninsula and to resolve the up-stream conditions.
Zoom (Smallest): A sample domain to resolve eddy shedding process.
