Abstract:Baroclinic currents for flow along the North Coast of British Columbia were modelled using a finite element approach. Observational data from Loran-C drifters were used to get surface truth data. Least squares fit was applied to both the wind-driven current and baroclinic current compared with the drifter velocities in Dixon Entrance and Hecate Straits. The current data achieved was found to be useful for oil spill modelling.
