Dyamical Systems Theory and Lagrangian Data Assimilation in 4D Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Abstract
The long-term goal of our project (known as OCEAN 3D+1) was to better understand and predict ocean circulation features that are fundamentally three-dimensional in space and that vary in time. In particular, we sought to quantify the dynamical processes that govern the formation, evolution, and predictability of 3D+1 transport pathways in the ocean. Our approach was to develop algorithms to thoroughly analyze a hierarchy of model and observations, ranging from very idealized models of isolated features (waves, eddies, etc.) to more realistic features as seen in models or observations.
