Random Fields Governed by Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and Their Applications to Oceanography

Abstract

An effective method of estimating transport parameters from tracer observations was developed based on the maximum likelihood approach in stochastic partial differential equations. Different classes of statistical estimators for near surface velocities and turbulence parameters have been studied. A complete error analysis for the method of moments was performed. Hamiltonian theory of wave turbulence was extended to the oceanic Rossby waves.
