Mark Discusses Model Accuracy

HF Radar data will be used to build a model which predicts future ocean currents. When we deploy the drifters during the field experiment (in a week-and-a-half), we will be able to compare the model predictions with the actual tracks of the drifters. I asked Dr. Mark Johnson, the Principal Investigator from University of Alaska, Fairbanks, about how far into the future the model can accurately predict surface circulation.
