Data Assimilation in Shelf Circulation Models

Abstract

The goal of this research project is to develop data assimilation (DA) methods for coastal circulation models and to apply these methods to measurements from the Oregon shelf. We envision the development of an optimal, versatile, and relocatable DA system based on a primitive equation model with a turbulence submodel. The planned system could be used efficiently both for operational needs (forecasting, search and rescue, environmental response) and for fundamental studies of coastal ocean dynamics.
