Abstract: The history of the Princeton/Dynalysis General Circulation model begins with the development of analytical turbulence closure models of small-scale turbulence at Princeton University (1973, 1974, 1977) such that vertical mixing or the inhibition of vertical mixing of momentum, temperature and salinity (or any other ocean property) can be predicted with considerable confidence. The history of the model is sketched and its properties are summarized. Presented are applications of the prognostic three-dimensional circulation model and its various submodels for various investigative purposes: New York Harbor, Delaware Bay, Middle Atlantic Bight, the entire Atlantic coast Continental Shelf, the Santa Barbara Channel, and the California coastal shelf.
