TST-OBC

In limited-area ocean models, existing open boundary conditions (OBCs) often create dynamic inconsistencies and perform poorly in resolving tidal or subtidal flow when both forces exist.

We have developed a novel tidal-subtidal (TST) OBC to accommodate the concurrent TST forcing, and the respective tidal or subtidal forcing, at the open boundary (Liu and Gan, 2016, JGR).
