The ROMS IAS Data Assimilation And Prediction System: Quantifying Uncertainty

Abstract

The long-term scientific goals of this research project are 1. To develop a state-of-the-art ocean 4-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation and ocean forecasting system for the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) 2. To develop a state-of-the-art suite of post-processing and diagnostic tools in support of ROMS 4D-Var;3. To gain the necessary experience using the ROMS 4D-Var systems in complex circulation environments 4. To train the next generation of users of the ROMS 4D-Var system.
