Optimal Combining Data for Improving Ocean Modeling

Abstract

The long range scientific goals of the proposed research comprise: (1) developing rigorous approaches to optimal combining satellite and drifter data with output of regional circulation models for accurate estimating the upper ocean velocity field and mixing characteristics such as relative dispersion and finite size Lyapunov exponent, (2) constructing and comprehensive testing computationally efficient estimation algorithms based on alternative parameterizations of uncertainty (3) processing real data in the Adriatic and Ligurian Sea (MREA coastal experiments) via new techniques.
