Description:This paper explores the natural storm response of the Gulf of Maine sea level. The authors employ a coupled 3-D circulation and bottom boundary layer model (forced by wind and surface waves) to simulate the winter storm response of the Gulf. They used the barotropic version of a three- dimensional, finite-element circulation model named QUODDY, with a time-space constant bottom drag coefficient, to simulate the Gulf of Maine response to realistic winds. They then coupled a bottom boundary layer model to QUODDY and forced it with the same winds. Model-produced results are compared with pressure observations.
