Note(s): WINDSTAU is a finite difference model which uses hourly windstress to compute longshore and cross-shelf currents, and the variation in sea level along a two-dimensional vertical cross-shelf plane. The overall objective is to quantify sea level variations and current speeds occuring in response to meteorological forcing over time scales on the order of one to two weeks.
