Inverse Modeling of Coastal Tides
Abstract
The principal goal of this project is to develop efficient, relocatable, tidal data assimilation schemes that make use of all information, including data (e.g., altimetry, current moorings, coastal radar) and dynamics to constrain barotropic and internal tides (especially tidal currents) in coastal areas and shallow seas. Objectives in the current project period are: (1) to adapt the computationally intensive methods developed by Egbert et al. [1994] into a relocatable inversion package for routine application to regional and coastal barotropic tidal modeling; (2) to apply these methods to study tidal currents off Oregon coast where extensive current meter and coastal radar data are available; (3) to begin development of tidal inversion methods for a three-dimensional stratified ocean.
