2) Autocorrelation plots for Alexandrium cell concentration data [Section E.2.2]
The observations clearly contain patchiness at small scales that is
not resolved
in the model simulations. This is illustrated in the following
two figures, which
show the autocorrelation functions for the simulated and observed cell
distributions
in the alongshore and cross-shore directions. These plots indicate
the degree to
which cell concentration at a particular point is correlated with concentrations
at
neighboring points as a function of separation distance.
The fact that this correlation falls of more rapidly in the observations
than in the
model suggests that the model fields are smoother than the observations,
and thus
do not fully resolve the patchiness contained in the observations.
Also note that the average station spacing in the cross shore direction
is such that
neighboring observations are fairly well correlated with each other.
This is not true
in the alongshore direction, where adjacent transects are essentially
uncorrelated with
each other.
