Assimilating Data into a Circulation Model

Abstract

The purpose of this grant was to develop data assimilation methods for state-of-the-art nearshore oceanographic circulation models. The data for the assimilation effort was provided from the collaborative Nearshore Canyon Experiment (NCEX) held in the fall of 2003. This research led to the development and implementation of a time-distributed averaging procedure (TDAP) within the Ozkan-Kirby (OK) nearshore circulation model to assimilate dense surface velocity observations obtained at NCEx.
