BNAM : an eddy-resolving North Atlantic Ocean model to support ocean monitoring / by Z. Wang … [et al.].: Fs97-18/327E-PDF
"This report describes the eddy-resolving Bedford Institute of Oceanography North Atlantic model (BNAM) whose primary use is to support DFO monitoring programs such as AZOMP (Atlantic Zone Off-Shelf Monitoring Program) and AZMP (Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program). The 1990-2017 model hindcast result is compared with observational data from surface drifter and satellite altimetry. The model demonstrates good skill in simulating surface currents, winter convection events in the Labrador Sea, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation as observed at 26.5°N and 41°N. Model results have been used to interpret changes in the Labrador Current and observed warming events on the Scotian Shelf, and are reported through the annual AZMP Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Process"--Abstract, p. iii.
