Time Interpolation of Forcing Fields in Ocean ModelsSource: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;1996:;Volume( 026 ):;issue: 001::page 136Author:Killworth, Peter D.

Abstract: It is shown that the usual practice of forcing ocean models by linear interpolations of monthly mean data values does not produce a forcing whose mean over a month is the data value required. For wind stress data this can yield monthly mean errors, coherent over a basin, of as much as 0.4 ? 10?1 N m?2, with 30%?40% of values being in error by more than 10%. A simple method is given to avoid the difficulty, which involves no change to model computer code and no increase in the amount of data stored internally.
