Fig. 4.4 Dependence of
prescribed geostrophic flow
(ug in m/s) on wake
magnitude (given in N/m 2
as wind stress being used as
forcing for ocean
simulations with
HAMSOM) after 4 h of
METRAS simulation. The
relation is nearly linear, but
due to only three points, it is
not to be generalized
Table 4.2 Key notes of METRAS OWF simulation. OWF effect is separated into positive and
negative changes over the 10-m horizontal (hor.) field and over the whole model area through the
vertical layers (vert.)
On the basis of the cross sections, it is clearly seen that the magnitude of wake
depends on the wind speed (Fig. 4.3 b1-b3 and c1-c3). Another occurrence is the
weaker the wind is, the stronger the wind speed within wake plume from NW to SE
converges to zero and the wider the wake development from SW to NE is. That
