Bathymetry:
The Southern Arabian Gulf & Strait of Hormuz are
less than 300ft deep and conducive to high reverb.
The Gulf of Oman is a basin with steep sides and an
abyssal plain with depths >10,000ft.
The Arabian Gulf averages 10,000ft deep. Contains
ridges and rises that can cause reverb.
SLD/COF (Current):
SLDs in the AG & SOH average <50ft – 150ft w/
half-channel conditions. In GOO & NAS, SLD
averages 100ft – 150ft.
Expect half-channel in western and southwestern
portions of AG.
SLD/COF (12hr Forecast):
By 12 hrs, SLDs in the AG & SOH average <50ft –
150ft w/ half-channel conditions. In GOO & NAS,
SLD averages 100ft – 150ft.
Expect half-channel in western and southwestern
portions of AG.
SLD/COF (24hr Forecast):
By 24hrs, SLDs in the AG & SOH average <50ft –
150ft w/ half-channel conditions. In GOO & NAS,
SLD averages 100ft – 150ft.
Expect half-channel in western and southwestern
portions of AG.
Oceanography
Model confidence is moderate to high. Comparisons between the glider data
and the model predictions in the central GOO are good.
Fall-time cooling has extended half channel conditions along shallow parts of
the South and West Arabian Gulf. Saline water is observed strongly exiting the
southern Straits of Hormuz. Warmer, less saline surface water enters along the
northern parts of the Straits, possibly showing two-layer stratification with strong
BLG.
