The
scientific objectives of this research project are to develop practical, but
still nearly optimal methods for the assimilation of data (surface current
measurements from High Frequency (HF) radars; current and temperature
measurements from moored arrays; satellite SST and altimetry) into coastal
ocean circulation models, and to apply these methods to measurements from the
We envision the development of an
optimal, versatile, and relocatable
data-assimilation system based on a primitive equation model with a
turbulence submodel. The planned system could be
used efficiently both for fundamental studies of coastal ocean dynamics and
for operational needs (forecasting, search and rescue, environmental
response). Funding for this project is provided by the Office of Naval Research through Grant #N00014-98-1-0043 Data used in this project for assimilation and model verification
include those from |
