The concentrated
currents —
tidal influence is, however, more pronounced
here than in the Caribbean — between barrier islands form so - called «Riffbögen» (shoals and subaqueous ridges) at both sides of the channel.
To your list of power sources (and an article on the
current state of fusion would be an interesting topic
here) I would add Wave /
tidal although adding the caveat that it is horses for courses as that is a solution not too viable for land locked countries.
Features of the model described
here include the following: (1) tripolar grid to resolve the Arctic Ocean without polar filtering, (2) partial bottom step representation of topography to better represent topographically influenced advective and wave processes, (3) more accurate equation of state, (4) three - dimensional flux limited tracer advection to reduce overshoots and undershoots, (5) incorporation of regional climatological variability in shortwave penetration, (6) neutral physics parameterization for representation of the pathways of tracer transport, (7) staggered time stepping for tracer conservation and numerical efficiency, (8) anisotropic horizontal viscosities for representation of equatorial
currents, (9) parameterization of exchange with marginal seas, (10) incorporation of a free surface that accommodates a dynamic ice model and wave propagation, (11) transport of water across the ocean free surface to eliminate unphysical «virtual tracer flux» methods, (12) parameterization of
tidal mixing on continental shelves.
