2015 Hindcast 

base grid:  bb50_003b
# layers :  20


forcing:    tidal elevation:  six tidal constituents from Mass Tidal Model
            subtidal: low pass-filtered boundary elevation from Mass CMZ 30-Year hindcast (Chen)

            heat flux + wind stress from Mass Oean Plan / Mass CMZ 30-Year hindcast (Chen)

            Freshwater forcing from 32 Watersheds scaled using Paskamansett USGS Gauge
			Freshwater Forcing in Narragansett Bay (Blackstone+Taunton), Connecticut River, 
			    and Boston Harbor (Charles, Neponset) directly from USGS Gauges

            Assimilation of SST 
            SST data:  Mass CMZ 30-Year Hindcast (Chen) + BuzzBay correction from DMF Cleveland
