  abstract = {{W}hat most clearly distinguishes near-shore and off shore currents is their dominant spatial scale, {O} (1-30) km near-shore and {O} (30-1000) km off shore. {I}n practice, these phenomena are usually both measured and modeled with separate methods. {I}n particular, it is infeasible for any regular computational grid to be large enough to simultaneously resolve well both types of currents. {I}n order to obtain local solutions at high resolution while preserving the regional-scale circulation at an affordable computational cost, a 1-way grid embedding capability has been integrated into the {R}egional {O}ceanic {M}odeling {S}ystem ({ROMS}). {I}t takes advantage of the {AGRIF} ({A}daptive {G}rid {R}efinement in {F}ortran) {F}ortran 90 package based on the use of pointers. {A}fter a first evaluation in a baroclinic vortex test case, the embedding procedure has been applied to a domain that covers the central upwelling region of {C}alifornia, around {M}onterey {B}ay, embedded in a domain that spans the continental {U}.{S}. {P}acific {C}oast. {L}ong-term simulations (10 years) have been conducted to obtain mean-seasonal statistical equilibria. {T}he final solution shows few discontinuities at the parent-child domain boundary and a valid representation of the local upwelling structure, at a {CPU} cost only slightly greater than for the inner region alone. {T}he solution is assessed by comparison with solutions for the whole {US} {P}acific {C}oast at both low and high resolutions and to solutions for only the inner region at high resolution with mean-seasonal boundary conditions.
