Description:The operational quasi-geostrophic three-parameter model developed by Dr. L. Bengtsson for the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute has been linked with the optimized multi-layer hydrodynamical-numerical model based on the work of Professor W. Hansen at the University of Hamburg, Germany for use in the study of the wind and tide driven circulation along the southern Alaskan coast, sponsored by the Outer Continental Shelf Energy Programme (BLM/NOAA). The Bengtsson forecast model was used to increase the resolution of the surface pressure field to a 74.08 km grid in an area where the coastal elevations are a major determining factor. The initial states and the variable boundaries were prescribed for the Bengtsson model by extracting data from the Fleet Numerical Weather Central (FNWC) archived files for two storm periods in June and November, 1973. This document describes the programs and procedures used to link the FNWC fields to the Bengtsson model and the Bengtsson model to the Hydrodynamical-Numerical (HN) model, and provides supplemental information for the Bengtsson and HN models described fully in references (1) and (2).
